Oh my God. I'm sorry seems SO inadequate. But I am really sorry for your loss and the continuing madness you are dealing with. I think contacting a lawyer is the best thing to do. These people are obviously IDIOTS! GOD! Some people just kill me. So, so sorry. Poor Max. Please stay with us. We are here for you as much as we can be.(((((((((((big hugs))))))))))))

What a bunch of %^$#!#$^#^&.   Give them hell thru the courts.  I think you said you just moved in are you renting or buying?  How about them?  I hope you can make it living next to them.  It just makes me soooo mad.  Again so sorry about Max.  Now you have to have courage and make them pay!!!!

I am so very sorry.

I am so sorry for the loss of your beloved Max.  Please do not let these people intimidate you.  Max and you are the victims in this situation.  I don't see how your pup could have done anything to incite their dog to leap over the fence and attack your pup.  Their dog is now a killer and he and they should not get away with it.  If possible take a picture of their dog and hold one up along side a picture of Max so people can see how big the killer is and how small Max was. 

Excuse me? What a$$ holes!  These are exactly the type of poeple who should not own a large dog, let alone a pitbull!  Any large breed dog can attack and kill a small dog (just had a neighbor's chi killed by another's neighbor's loose golden retrieve mix!) BUT pitbulls are wired to attack other dogs. Sorry to whoever that offends but it is true.  Go look on pitbull lover websites - they will advise new owners that pitbulls are dangerous to other dogs!!!  Not people - DOGS.  Personally, I can't stand the breed but if a person chooses to own one they should be held accountable for keeping the dog under control at all times just like a wild animal.

Getting lawyers and the news involved is the best idea...hurting the pit (which I agree, antifreeze is too good for the dog!) would just get you in trouble.  I'm so, so sorry this happened to your pup.  It totally shows, once again, the horror that people have created in breeding the pitbull.

I was wondering if that was going to happen. I was just thinking if it were me and someone may take my dogs I would skip town. The only thing is if he is an owner of the house then he is going to create a whole slew of problems, which is good. Hey at least you don't have to look at him now and should you choose to get another pup you won't encounter the same danger. He screwed himself and most stupid people will. I think it's kind of good, now the cops will go after him as they wouldn't before!!

WOW, that's weird.....but don't give up, I would definitely try to persue getting some money out of the jerk just for the principal of it.  If he owns his home then he hasn't gone far, he's just making himself look worse.  If he's gone for good then it will be better for you in the long run if and when you choose to get another pup....you may not get justice for Max but you will certainly be better off to not have a neighbor like him. 

Hang in there....keep us posted

Were the news people interested?  Are they going to do the story?
