Relax. Take a breath. Get to know people and dogs without letting it drive you mad.

Hey, you asked.
Bringing wildlife into the discussion is just a deflection, an attempt to draw away from the subject, which is social responsibility and respect for the right of property owners. Wild creatures can and do damage our yards. Mole crickets, but we can poison, crush and kill them with impunity. If your neighbor owned a cow, coyote or mole cricket, he/she should not allow them into your yard. It's not about the dog! It's about the owner!
