Regular but N/C for this.
Earlier this week, my dog was attacked by a neighbour's dog - my dog was on the lead, her's was not.
My dog needed vet treatment.
That evening, my DH went to neighbour's house with the bill. Neighbour refused to pay, saying the incident was my fault because his dog "didn't like" mine. He and his wife were thoroughly unpleasant and kept banging on about they had lived in our streets for 40 years with no trouble. They also refused to keep dog on lead in future.
Dh came back and I went round to try and reason with the dog owners - no joy. They eventually called the police to have me removed from their house!
By this time, I was in floods of tears and they kept telling me I was "wrong in the head" etc.
A rather bemused PC appeared and instructed the neighbours to contribute to the vet bill - they agreed to pay half, which I accepted.
Before PC arrived, the male neighbour came to me and lifted his hand to me - he was being very aggressive by this point and I honestly didn't know whether he was just gesturing of if he was threatening me. Later, I told the PC about this and he went back to have a word with the guy.
The PC also spoke to the pair about keeping dog on lead.
Luckily, my dog has recovered.
AIBU to think this couple were completely out of order? Am dreading bumping into them...
