My neighbors dog runs free every day. He comes in our yard regularly and poops in our yard multiple times a week. We have photos and video. We've asked our nrighbor to leash him or keep him on his own property and he refuses. My 4 year old is severely allergic to dogs and my 2 year old is scared of the dog. We should be able to play in our yard without fear and without stepping in the poop of a dog we do not own.

Blue house on SW corner Madison/Coolidge - owners constantly allowing dog to roam off leash and unsupervised, even though they have a fenced yard. Dog barks aggressively at people and other dogs that walk by and often approaches them. Owners will claim “he won’t hurt ya”. If dog is unleashed roaming around and being observed it is often by one of the younger children. Recently witnessed dog roaming across the street while residents were getting in the car to leave and seemed to have barely remembered or noticed dog was outside. We frequently see dog outside in yard during rainy weather on stoop leading in to garage. Owners are irresponsible and neglectful.

At about 8:45 pm my children and I were walking our dog on her leash and a coyote came towards us. I would not be as concerned except this is the third time this has happened since January. I fear this same lone coyote is unafraid of people and is crossing Walnut Street Pike to feed out of the dumpster at Walnut Springs Apartments (I believe these are the name of the set of brown and tan apartment buildings) the trash dumpster is always out of control. Beds, furniture and food refuse litters the ground and dumpster area daily. Skunk is running around as well but this coyote has me nervous. My first time seeing it I thought it was a German shepherd loose but I knew it was a coyote from its gruff and it’s tail. I saw it about 5ish one January day. Then I saw it again, same driveway, same area in early March about 7ish - that’s when I figured it’s living in the field that has an abandoned house and possibly crossing the road to eat out of the dumpster. This third time it was in the yard of the abandoned house. It walked towards us then stood still just watching us. This time my dog was unaffected and unbothered also where she wasn’t the prior times. I’m now afraid this coyote is use to humans and getting braver. It’s also April and I fear it’s obviously protecting its territory. Walnut Street Pike this year (this is my 3rd Spring here) it seems busier with more children outdoors and high pet traffic; seeing this coyote once I feel was luck, twice was a rush of fear, three times I felt I needed to send out a warning as the trees and bushes are going to fill in more making it harder to see the coyote but easier for the coyote to see us humans and our pets. When the coyote gets to going at night it’s pretty intimidating and cool at the same time - I’ve recorded it - it’s definitely some coyote howls!!!

Frank Marshalek walks his large dog off leash through the neighborhood every single day. The dog goes onto people's property, including my porch, and also approaches other dogs. I am terrified of dogs and request someone address this, as he has refused to do so when asked.
