The dog catcher is a part time position and not very reliable. I had social discussions with the dog catcher (who is not all that fond of me) in a social venue. He told me that credible allegations that dogs are out running deer, for instance, are a minimum of $1000 costs for the dog owner. Costs likely vary by state.<br /><br />I have been told that serious dog bites can tally up $35K. My guess is that his home owner's insurance has the ability to apply much leverage to this problem. <br /><br />Another ugly fact is that a significant portion of the family income is derived from the in-home daycare. Problem dogs can pose a significant impediment to retaining one's license.<br /><br />The neighbor who's dog was chewed up tried the civil approach first. He went and talked to the neighbor. That did not work. Clearly the problem is escalating. <br /><br />My guess is that some day soon four dogs will run out the door and only two will come back. <br /><br />Eaton Rapids Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09102166969915526172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970975545475697571.post-64214703826048671672013-09-15T20:42:30.915-04:002013-09-15T20:42:30.915-04:00It doesn't take a gallon of oil.
