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.

No size limit as others have said. My questions is "why were you inside the fenced area?" Invisible fences have to be on the owners property. Many city regulations require a minimum distance from public sidewalks and right of ways. Sorry 2 and 2 aren't adding up here.
