One that savagely attacks small dogs and old woman? A dog that is a nuisance to the public, that shouldn't be allowed to be in the city (because big dogs shouldn't live in small yards)?
Well, according to this lady that's how it should be... /link/
Neena (the dog in question) belongs to a friend of mine. She used to be my roommate. She is not a snarling, vicious dog- although she can be a little nervous and without a doubt was barking at the woman screeching on the ground. Seriously, how dumb are people? According to the neighbors, who watched everything from their kitchen window, the little dog was running up and down Neena's fence and neena was going snakey. She managed to get through the fence and ran around in circles around the woman- barking. The woman then plastered herself to the ground and started screaming. Awesome no?
In any event, Neena's mom was not to happy about it, and in the heat of the moment said some not so nice things to the still shrieking woman on the ground. The shrieking lady then called the police, and then a few weeks later wrote this nice letter to the editor. If this didn't involve a friend it would be funny. I mean, the letter is not written well at all, and is totally outrageous. Anyone who reads can see that this is just an angry woman venting. It is not factual, nor written with a point. I am pretty surprised that the paper printed it. I guess they will print anything these days?
I've suggested to my friend to say nothing in response to the letter, and just let it go. Although if it were my dog in question I am not sure that I could. Neena doesn't care, and has no idea the ruckus she's caused. She was just being a dog. Oh and I do agree that yes the woman had a right to be scared but I think that she is overreacting a bit.

OMG! That woman's letter is ridiculous! Neena has far more training than her dog will ever have! Big dogs don't belong in the city???? That woman's behaviour of yelling and screeching and lying on the ground made the situation far worse! My sympathies to Neena's owner.
What a shame that this had to happen. It certainly doesn't mean Neena doesn't belong in the city. Dogs react to fear, which apparently this woman was exhibiting. Throwing herself on the ground was a bit overkill and could have been handled much better, I think.
I can just imagine what Neena's owners are going through.
OMG! seriously ??
People suck :(
Poor Neena
Oh dear. Little old ladies are hard to beat in court, this could turn into a really bad situation because someone belongs in a retirement community instead of in the care of a problematic breed (really, have you ever met a well behaved, balanced shih tzu?).
Can we almost guarantee that this Shih was also on a flexi lead? The letter totally gives me that vibe. Someone who doesn't know how to put on a collar right (if you can't get it tight enough to not come off at the slightest problem, your dog should be in a harness), she probably doesn't know how to control her dog on a real leash either.
But never mind speculation, this old lady is a jerk for calling the police AND writing a letter to the editor. She should be *ahem* mature enough to deal with this like an adult instead of a tattletale little kid.
haha Christopher, so true. I am hoping for Neena's mom's sake that now that the woman has had a chance to vent she lets it go.
I am always amazed at the stupidity of people though.
