"Of course incidents like this would be rare if Animal Control did their frigging job and ticketed people for noisy and freeroaming dogs with large fines; and took dogs away from the people who neglect them to the point of non-stop barking. Dog owners are so used to getting away with anything -- not picking up, not leashing, not controlling their animal that it’s become normal for them to think they can get away with everything."
It’s time to give animal ordinances some teeth
Excerpt: Enough’s enough. Sixty-five years have slid by, and no city council has tackled the issue of loose or aggressive dogs once and for all. I challenge this city council to be the one that does. If they’re truly too busy, then let’s form an Animal Services Commission to develop pet ownership ordinances that address the entire scope of animal related problems — leash laws, licensing, spay/neuter ordinances, abuse, neglect, and another of my pet (haha) peeves, excessive barking. (Yes, I wrote about that recently too.)

The Department of Shameless Self-Promotion. Do you wish that your local officials would get a clue about the harm caused by barking dog noise? Well, head over to my QuietBarkingDogs store. It has tee shirts and bumper stickers that quietly and firmly get our point across.
