I've lost a few animals over the years. They're not pets to me, they're family members.
And as far as the neighbors and their dogs go, it's not the Doberman's fault. You could blame the owners, but then you've shown you have no aptitude for reading comprehension as he said his dog went on THE NEIGHBORS property. It fuckin sucks his dog was attacked on top of everything else, but like the man said, it all happened so fast.
