I was only able to escape because I managed to slowly make my way to the edge of the Invisible Fence that they had installed. I didn’t know it was there but I might not be here if it wasn’t, because I am on blood thinners, and although my arms were scratched I miraculously wasn’t severely bitten.
I of course reported the incident to the sheriff’s department and was referred to Animal Control. The owners were ticketed but the dogs are still there.
We just bought a house in TV after renting for several years, but I was under the impression that people could bring in a large dog they already had, but not get another large dog after moving in.
Has this policy changed? Because if it hasn’t then the 99% of us who don’t raise these “pets” shouldn’t be at risk for the inconsiderate people who do.

Sorry for what happened, but your poor comments and generalizations of pet owners “being inconsiderate” are not appropriate. If your that scared and dislike dogs an obviously pet owners, then why would you choose to live in a pet friendly residential development. There is others that don’t allow them. The majority of pet owners are not inconsiderate but enjoy the loving companionship of a loyal pet, that helps give them greater quality of life and purpose and it’s proven that many live longer because they have a pet. And before you rudely assume, (as you did in a previous response) no I don’t have a large dog, but have dogs and that’s a huge factor why I moved here. I did my research and looked for a pet friendly development, which The Villages is...
