It is not enough to witness something, to just go out to dinner and come home and see
a dog running circles around all my ponies and horses to a point where they are so frightened they are running into fences and frantic in a way I had never witnessed before. As soon as my husband got out of the car and the dog saw him it took off into my neighbors yard and we saw them let it in their house. I never imagined the amount of injuries I had to address. Yet, the opposing side will insist on asking me what happened before that while we were not there, how do I know there was not something else that took place before what I saw that caused all the damage? Even though it was
obvious to me that this had been happening for a while so that dog had them so terrified
that they were all out of breath and sweaty and upset and I was to discover suffered
so many injuries, in ways I could not imagine, that isn't good enough? Even though
the result from that made all of them now "terrified" of dogs, so much so that one of them that I turned out during his recovery process just seeing my neighbors dog tried
to jump out of his paddock and didn't make it but landed on the gate literally bending it in half to where he was literally set on that gate dazed, I was alone when that happened and did not know what to do, but watched him slide off to the ground, struggle to get up
and walked a few steps, then trotted up a small incline and stand there frozen and shaking in a way I had never seen a horse shake, staring at my neighbor's dog. This is a horse that had never expressed the slightest care/concern about dogs EVER and dogs
were always around where he had been stabled and at many different horse shows. When my neighbor's dogs were contained in their yard my horses/ponies saw them all the time and never cared, nothing, it went from that to all of them now terrified? That is similar to a person driving a car constantly with out much thought, no big deal to
experiencing a car accident where they got hurt and then being terrified to get back into a car. Or any scenario where someone was frightened so badly by something, taken by surprise and now being terrified of whatever that happened to be. Certainly members
here know that.

It is not even enough that I have entire fence lines snapped or that I even found a dog rawhide laying on the ground that their dog must have dropped while running those laps. I still have that and it was not important enough to take and test for syliva that would match it to that dog? No, that isn't enough proof, maybe it could show the dog
might have been there but not doing anything to prove he was doing what me and my husband witnessed him doing? Even with the fact that I had "many" injured isnt enough.

Even with my neighbors admitting their fence was malfunctioning isn't enough. And even though seeing it happen created me to developing PTSD, well, they will need to
open up my entire history and put that on trial too and it is not advised I go through that, especially since I was misdiagnosed when I did present with Post Traumatic
Stress.

My neighbor admitted that it was doing the same thing to his chickens and ducks, running laps around their pen too, he told me to get a gun and shoot the dog, he was angry with his daughter and "when is she going to learn to be responsible"? If the police had come out when I asked them too, they would have heard all of that too.
No, they would not come out, the dog warden was out sick for two weeks and by the time she "did" finally come out my neighbor's talked to their insurance company who
told them not to admit anything. Their insurance company told me to get a lawyer
too. They have one interest "only" and that is to do anything they can to avoid
paying out any money on a claim too. My neighbor has one interest too, to avoid
being "responsible" for their negligence.

I have been thrown into an unbelievable "cess pool" of experiencing first hand just
how awful people really can be on more levels than I ever imagined in my wildest dreams.
