Neighbour's dog got into our yard who fixes the fence??
I was in the house and I heard a savage dogfight. The TV was on, so I assumed that’s where I was coming from. But quickly realized it was coming from our backyard. Turns out the neighbours daughter had her dog visiting. It had gotten under the fence and had gone to attack our two dogs.
One is a 7 pound mini schnoodle. The other is our a 70 pound German shepherd. What I saw and heard was shocking. We have a small fence that runs between the pool and the neighbours fence. There is a small gate there. Their dog was trying to attack and was going at the fence. Our GS was being protective of the mini dog which was beside him. The sound was literally something from the movies. I thought our gate was going to break and the small dog would be killed while the two big dogs went at it. The neighbours daughter was screaming to call her dog while I was screaming at her to call it.
So what had happened was part of the fence that runs along our homes, collapsed. It seems our neighbours had landscaping done a couple of days previously, and the extra weight of the dirt caused an issue. There has been no communication since as she she was angry at me for being upset at her daughter.
I decided today to take a video of what’s going on under our pool deck. It’s pretty obvious that the fence needs fixing. It looks to me that the dirt on her part of her yard is coming through in more areas.
My question is who is responsible for this? It’s pretty obvious that with the amount of dirt that they added to their backyard is collapsing the fence. They seem to have Jimmy rigged it from the other side. Today that dog is back so my concern is back.
I believe the fence would be hers because of the layout. Either way all the dirt that they added is the reason for the fence, collapsing.
I have somebody that will go over and talk to the owner, but I need to know where I stand for resolving the fence issue before that is done. For some reason I cannot add video. Just posted pictures.. our pool deck is on the left the stone walkway is the neighbours yard.
