Animal Control & Neglected Pets:

Other: My neighbors have a large black labrador that is often off lease on the street. Is comes running at me in my backyard barking and growling. I have managed to shout and scream at it to get it to go away but it keeps scaring me and my guests. It has also caused a previous problem by chasing a delivery driver who was coming to my house. I spoke to my landlord about this and both he and I have spoken to the dog's owner. He says that he can't do anything about it because the dog escapes out the door and he then tries to get it back but I am unsatisfied with this response. I should not be terrorized in my own backyard and now feel I can't have any guests over because the dog will end up scaring them. I know that there are leash laws in Bloomington and that the dog cannot be off leash like this but I'm not sure what to do to stop it.
