Interesting story..
I'm in my yard on the phone with my cousin.
My neighbor on one side has a chocolate lab, and he was with his grand daughter walking the dog.
From the other side of the street, I see my other neighbors Grey pitbull streak out of their back yard and blindside the lab.
The lab owners are trying to separate the dogs, and the young lady is caught between both dogs. I hear them yell for help so I grab my pistol and approach the situation cautiously.
My cousin tells me to put the pistol back immediately because if I shot either person OR dog the only person that would be arrested is me.
I agree, Holter the pistol and proceed to run to the pitbull owners home. I knock on the door, he answers. I start to explain that his dog is out and it's attacking someone. He says his dog is in the house. So I unholster my pistol and say, "then you are okay if I shoot him sir?"
He finally comes out and sees the commotion. He helps to get his dog under control but by that time the lab has taken some serious injuries and the grandfather and girl are pretty shook up.
Cops come up later and we have to give statements. I explain what I saw.
Week later, I see the neighbors with the pitbull in the front by the mailbox. The guy tells his wife, there is the guy who snitched on us. I said, no sir I'm the guy who saved your dog.
