Last year we lost two girls to the neighbor dog. As he was trying to leave with a third one he got a butt full of buckshot. The third one lived but she had a puncture wound on her side and it must have done some nerve damage cause she has lost some toes and she limps now.... Now the dog never steps foot on our property. Any other dogs that I see our ground I ping with the air rifle and shout at them, they all have gotten the right idea to stay away.
