Our neighbors at 2400 s Madison often leave their dog outside all day, and it barks nonstop. It often gets out of it's fenced yard and aggressively corners people walking the neighborhood and lunges at other dogs on leash and people. I have called a live complaint to animal control recently, and my wife has in the past, but most recently the owners took the dog in their car, drove around the corner, and waited for animal control to leave and then came back, at which point the dog was immediately wandering around the neighborhood while they were inside ignoring it for several hours. The owners are clearly negligent and have not made any effort to protect others or this dog in situations where he is being aggressive and they have been asked to intervene directly and even become irate claiming the dog "has the right to" the neighborhood. Today I am writing this complaint because the dog has been outside barking every few seconds for the past 8 hours, and for the middle of the day was free and roaming the surrounding intersection. I do not see a car at my neighbors home and am not even sure if they are there.

There is a tan dog that belongs to the house at the corner of S. Madison St. and Coolidge Dr. It is outside of the house, unleashed at least 2-3 times a week. The dog is sometimes aggressive to pedestrians and cyclists who pass by the house. I bike to work a couple of times a week and it has followed me for a couple of blocks and growls. I have seen it growl and chase pedestrians. I have tried talking to one of the individuals that lives there about the animal and they just became upset at me. The dog sometimes wanders off their property and down the half of the block into my yard and into my and my neighbor's yards. They send their middle school aged daughter down the street to get the animal and she comes into other peoples yards and back yards to get the animal. The dog does not come to her so just ends up chasing it back home. This has been taking place all summer since late May/early June.

There is a pitbull that is constantly off lease during all hours of the day that is becoming aggressive to neighbors and pedestrians walking along the road, including barking at and charging people leaving and entering their homes. The dog is mostly brown with a white head. I think the owner leaves the dog outside all night on the street.
