My neighbor has an empty lot between my house and and theirs and a few weeks ago they got a pit bull and they have it chained up on the empty lot. I have a small child and its makeing me very nervous as the dog is about 30 yards from the edge of my front yard. Also the dog barks day and night which is another issue. Another neighbors dog got out a few days ago and ran towards the pitt and the pitt was lunging at the other dogs neck it just couldn't reach it because of the chain. I was telling a friend about it and he said just go shoot it but like I told him that would be hard to explain since the dog is chained up.

Any advice on what to do? Should I call animal control or police but then again if the dog ends up dead I would be the first person they would question about it.
