I am only on page 13 here, so may be way behind, but all these voices are urging this minor to report them, report them, report them. I am going to be a different voice. Dad says don't get involved. The dog's owners are the kinds of people who beat, neglect and abuse their animals. Sounds to me like they are the kind of people Dad does not want to get involved with. They are not nice people. Maybe they are not SAFE people. Remember, OP is a minor. Dad has the best judgment here. The dog needs care, but keeping OP safe and not bringing down the Wrath of Khan upon a single dad and his daughter is more important. In my opinion. Above all, be safe!
