Redditor Gives A Camera Feed Of An Attack By A Neighbor's Dog, Gets Blamed When The Dog Gets Taken Away
Even if your dog is friendly and has never previously displayed symptoms of aggression, anything could cause them to bite in response. You'll probably be concerned, angry, and possibly even astonished if your dog actually bites someone.

What does this entail for your dog, you might be wondering? Can they be taken from you or put down?
Either way, it's important to note that after a bite, it's crucial to act swiftly and take appropriate measures. Dog bite laws can change significantly from state to state, as well as from county to city, depending on where the bite occurred.
It's crucial to learn about the local regulations so you'll be prepared should a dog attack occur. The OP of today's story installed a PTZ camera on their main door for security reasons.
One day, there was some commotion, and one of their neighbors' dogs had bitten another neighbor's teenage son. It was nothing very serious, but there were some teeth marks and a cut with some blood oozing.
It was still serious enough to go to the doctor, and they did. The neighbor whose son was bitten came to the OP and asked if the camera feed had captured the incident so he could see what had happened.
So the OP opened the camera log to see the incident, and it turned out that the other neighbor was at fault. The neighbor had their dog taken away, and the OP was blamed for it.
The story's title
The attack was nothing very serious but there were teeth marks and a cut with some blood oozing
The OP opened the camera log to see the incident which showed the neighbor was at fault
Mostly everyone told the OP to ignore the neighbor but another one of the neighbors still blamed the OP
And the comments roll in...
The OP merely provided proof of what happened
The neighbor is a totally irresponsible pet owner
The pet was obviously a danger to anyone around it
The dog could have bitten or maybe even killed someone
The neighbor lost the dog and it's her fault
It's as a result of not being under his owner's control
It's only a recording of what happened in the hall way of their home
The neighbor would have gotten the dog euthanized
The residents are now safe as the dangerous dog is gone
The situation could have been so much worse
The dog was not safe to be around kids
It could have been the OP that was attacked
That would provoke a reaction from many dogs
This is probably a good reason to get the neighbor evicted
The dog was obviously out of her control
This Redditor has a similar story to share
The OP only provided evidence because they were asked
Who knows, the next attack may have been lethal or disfiguring as the dog obviously attacks humans. The owner should have made sure that the dog was trained enough not to attack humans but they didn't, and the dog had to be taken away.
If anything, the OP saved the next person from an attack, and many Redditors thanked him for it.
