It's a small yappy dog who started getting out of their yard last fall.
The first two times it happened when I went out there it ran back under the fence and I knocked on the door and no one came.
Eventually they figured out that it was getting out from under their fence and they would go out and get it.
A couple weeks ago they had a nice new tall fence installed so I thought ok problem soved... Until you realize that the fence is very uneven at the bottom in order to make the top of it look nice so there's large areas that the dog can get out from.
They do know this is the case since I have seen them going out to get the dog after it has gotten out from under the fence.
It has been happening daily now and most of the time they don't know immediately or by the time they come out it has just gone back under the fence.
Now I'm not afraid of it or anything but I also am NOT a dog person so I'm not going to go trying to get it.
It goes into the road and it wanders around my yard.
I fear that if they don't fix the problem soon it will either get hit by a car, get into a fight with a dog being walked by, or potentially even decide to nip one of my family members on the leg.
If I get bit we're gonna have some serious problems!
Not to mention the possibility of it pooping in my yard and me stepping in it. It has already peed in my yard.
I keep wondering why they don't either have the fence issue fixed, put the dog on a nice long lead in the back yard, or at the very least go out with the dog so if it does run under the fence they can immediately get it.
Doesn't it seem irresponsible for them to let this continue to happen?
**ETA**
We do not share a fence.
They have their own fence on their own property for their backyard.
I have my own fence on my property for my backyard.
Their dog does not come into my fenced backyard.
Their dog comes into my FRONT yard which is not fenced as no one's is fenced in my neighborhood.
Also I do not plan on calling animal control unless the situation escalates. I do not want to "punish" them nor do I want to have an unfriendly neighbor relationship.
