Sally (the basset) and Precious (the great dane) are both well known in these parts. Because I have identified my dogs both to neighbors and animal control. Sally had been mistaken for a pregnant basset that had been wandering the neighborhood. Animal control came to my home and I brought Sally out to show it wasn't her who was walking around. BUT they have gotten out in the past. I have long since contained them for fear of getting a citation. (I also did not want any trouble with the neighbors)
As for the guineas, The neighbor only knew I had them because he came over and saw them. He suggested the noise they made attracted his dogs. I have seen their dogs in my yard in the past (told animal control) but was unaware of their killing nature until I caught them with the chicken in their mouth.
I think I will call the Sheriff's office just to make a report and follow up on Animal Control's report.
Kudos to you for keeping your animals confined to your own property ! Its a shame the neighbor does not . There would be a quite a few less posts under this section if everybody took measures to keep their animals , whether furred or feathered , behind a good fence . Nothing is ever fail safe , but IMO we should all do the best we can .
