In reply to the discussion: My cat was attacked by a neighbor's dog... [View all]moriah
(8,312 posts)23. It's the doorframe that's not square all the way. Roof leak.
The problem is... the dog isn't truly stray. The neighbor is feeding it, has a permanent food dish, etc, and has been for the last six months. Legally they're considered the owners after a week of feeding a stray dog (Pulaski County, AR).
But if the law gets involved, the dog has a high likelihood of getting put down. Per county ordinances, an attack on another domestic animal is enough to have the dog declared vicious, and if the owner doesn't claim them and take responsibility, they would get put down. If the dog was in Little Rock, and my cat survived, it would have a second chance -- two attacks against another animal is what's required if the first didn't kill the other animal. But the county is very strict.
