. "... However, I do think that action should be taken when a larger dog shows itself to be dangerously aggressive. The Villages says that they cannot enforce the covenant. All they can do is send the owner of the pit bull a letter..."
Something's missing here. Your dog was injured, perhaps he would have been killed if your husband didn't fight the pit bull. Your husband may have been injured. You don't know if the dog has rabies, which is a whole new issue. And all you do is look to The Villages and the HOA rules? You need to call the police. They will attempt to find the dog and/or the owner. Laws are being broken here and you have suffered injuries. You should have called 911 immediately, but now it's not an emergency so pick up the phone and call (352) 343-2101 (Lake County Sheriff), (352) 728-6909 (Sumter County). Marion County didn't give any number to call, so call 911 and they will direct you
.
Your actions may still help you, but they may also save the next dog, someone's baby, or someone's husband.
