Good for you Lynn!!! I’m proud of you! It’s SO frustrating, the dispatcher could/SHOULD have connected you to the dog catcher when you called. They are TRAINED to ask questions so that they can get accurate information to assess the situation! Granted, this situation had been taken care of for YOU, however who knows what these animals did once they left your property.
Why does someone have to be injured before action is taken? When someone IS injured they shake their heads and wring their hands and say “what a shame, if only this could have been prevented.” But it COULD have been prevented, it should have been prevented!
Unless you say those dreaded words “Pitbull”, “Rottweiler”, or “Wolf Hybrid” law enforcement is very likely to blow you off. The dog that attacked my daughter was a mutt, a husky – chow mix.
If it were me, I would write and email or letter to the local government leader. Someone has to make sure that these dispatchers are properly trained, that these complaints are taken seriously. This isn’t a dog getting into your garbage or taking a dump in your yard, it is a PACK of dogs attacking children.
