Hi everyone,
I’m looking for some advice and opinions: I have an 18-month-old Siberian Husky who has eaten my neighbours' chickens. He dug a hole under the wire fence, dashed into the chicken coop, and killed 17 chickens in total. Of course, we paid them back for the loss; the owners were very understanding, so there wasn’t really any drama, and we made sure to fill the hole back in properly.
Two months later:
My dog managed to get out again. He went through another neighbour's garden and got back into the one with the chickens (they’d bought some new ones). I think he’s eaten more of them because he was covered in feathers.
I’m scared that this time the neighbours won't be so understanding and might even want me to give up my dog. They haven't come round to complain yet, so maybe I'm mistaken and it wasn't actually chicken feathers, but my dog was definitely gone for 20 minutes. No matter how much I called him, he wouldn’t come back, and the neighbours were likely asleep. What can I do? Can the neighbours report me? Could the RSPCA come and take my dog away from me?
Thanks for reading this long post :)
