My SMALL dog got mauled by the neighbors' FIVE LARGE dogs in April 2012. He was hovering near death and it took over two months of healing. His long soft coat was permanently ruined, he got serious skin problems, and now he hates all male dogs.
The neighbors offered to help pay the medical bills so we were thankful for that, but then we weren't hearing back so my dad called them to take up the offer. They were just like "lol jk why don't you sue us or sumthin". We couldn't sue them because it happened on their property. My mom also got ticketed by police (guess who reported her) for letting our dog 'run at large', so we had to pay for that too plus thousands in vet bills over the course of rehab.
The neighbors have called the police on us for useless things since then. It's just some sick game they play so we never talk to them anymore.
