Seriously - the discussion has gone to “small dogs bite more than big dogs” - or ‘pit bulls’ are more dangerous than any other breed of dog. Folks - breed or size does not matter to a dog or person that has been bitten. Silly people....
(If you get hit and killed by a ‘Smart Car’ vs a ‘Semi’ - does size matter???)

The issue is - IF - a dog bit another dog and/or human - the real problem is - the owner or care-taker of the dog is at fault.

No dog should ever be off a leash - ever- in an open, public place. That is not the fault of the dog (big or small).

I wouldn’t be surprised if the neighbors have been dealing with this situation for some time. - there is probably a lot more to the story.

Moral of the story - you don’t have to be buddies - but be civil with neighbors; always - always keep your dog under full control when out in an open area (if you are unable to handle any situation that comes up - get help to walk/exercise your dog); if another dog injures your dog &/or you - take your dog to the vet &/or yourself to the dr.- right away; get witnesses; and report to the proper authorities.

Also - remember - it is irrelevant if the dog is big, small, a pit bull, a tea-cup poodle...... it is the owner/care-takers fault.
