I'll weigh in on this, because I've had an experience relating to barking dogs. We've had JCSO called on our dogs before (mostly due to us sitting for my cousin and her dog barks if the wind blows). We all work, can't be home 100% of the time, and can't just lock the dogs inside all day (I know, our fault we are lazy and don't want to clean up animal droppings inside our house). So our neighbor called to report our dogs. HOWEVER, the people across the street actually treat their dogs pretty poorly (not my place to call them in or anything like that) and these dogs consistently are barking and howling ever damn morning, but no calls on them?... so who's the asshole? We try to keep our dog from barking, but he's protective and we can't always stop him before he gets out into the yard and barks... but we try. I will tell you this- dogs bark, sometimes people can't be home all the time, and there isn't a whole lot you can do about it- so if you're a sick fvck that harms a dog because it's barking you deserve the same level of harm to befall you by the law of karma- maybe said sick fvck will have a can of paint fall on their head or something.
