[QUOTE="AckleyShooter, post: 1799748, member: 9329"] I was in this situation at my home last year. After talking to some LEO's and a lawyer this is what I was told and what I did: Call 911 to report a dog that attempted to attack and was running loose. Note the time and date of the call. (The police won't come unless the dog is actively a threat, so if the neighbors confine it quickly they won't come.) Don't call, GO down to animal control and file a complaint. Most likely Tulsa has a leash law and your neighbor is in violation. When the animal control worker interviews them and they admit the dog got out, he will issue a warning or citation. (In my case the pit bull tried to bite me 3 times so they got a $187 fine.) If they get a fine then you will have to show up at dog court to discuss what happened. (In my case, they didn't show and the judge found them guilty and let the record reflect that they were guilty of failure to confine a dog.) Lastly, after you have called police and filed all necessary reports, take whatever means you deem appropriate to protect yourself from a vicious dog whose owner has a documented history of failure to confine. When the authorities arrive after you have taken action, give them copies of all the appropriate paperwork and make a simple statement that you were on your property when a vicious dog entered your property and you felt threatened. That's it, no more no less. (I haven't had to take this action yet as the owner wised up and realized what was about to happen.) [/QUOTE]
