1-befriend the dog, food. no poison, legit. You showed at least 2 times animal was on property, is there a regular time like morning? put food out that time each day. shouldn't take more then 2-3 days to find out how wild the animal is. gain the animals confidence. the dog is only looking for chow. if it gets chow, add a 'friend'...
2-Catch the dog, it has a collar, add a chain.
3-Contact dog warden to pick up.
4- problem solved- no fallback.
postings of shooting? 1st choice, really? a few more hassles that yields no repercussions is a better path in a civilized society.
The owner admitted that their dog killed our ckn on Monday.
I just got a call from the dog warden as well. They are coming out on Monday. The dog owner will be cited and restitution of $25.00 is to be paid. Hopefully, the sting of dealing with the man is enough to keep this dog under wraps.
Good job, rDigital,,,,
