People next door have two pups, Siberian Huskies, or something similar. This morning, my wife is uncharacteristically up at 0730, and needs help getting one of the pups that had dug under the fencebetween the properties into our yard. I was just returning from walking our younger dog, I put her in the house, and we put the pup back into the yard, leaving a note on their front door to let them know.

This afternoon, about 1600, the guy next door sees my wife preparing take our older dog in to the vet. He rolls down his window and tells her the pup had been in our yard playing with our dog, and that he was going to fix the fence. He then drove off. My wife put the younger dog in the yard, and took the older one to the vet. Around 1900, after we had been back from the vet for perhaps an hour, there is somebody pounding at the front door, this guy and gal, brother-in-law of the neighbor or something, are there. I step out on the porch, and they are telling me our younger dog drug their puppy into our yard and mauled him around 1730, breaking both the pup's back legs in the process, to the estimated tune of $3-5K. The tale told to me third hand is that the wife from next door sees the pup going under the fence, grabs him by the tail, and my dog pulled the pup through. She lets go due to fears that she will pull the tail off, goes around to the front fence, which is wrought iron and reaches through to try and seperate the fighting dogs, getting bitten on the hand in the process. There is a "Beware of Dog" sign perhaps 3 feet from where she reached through. She calls for some assistance, and someone(guy who came and spoke to me later?) helps her get the dog back, maybe by jumping the fence, this is unclear, as is how the guy who told my wife at 1600 the pup had been in our yard playing with our dog earlier, had gotten the dog back into their yard. The wife went to Med 7 to get treatment for the dog bite.

Curious to see how this will all play out. Wish me luck
