My neighbor’s Husky has bitten my dog and 3 others, and the attacks seem unprovoked. Am I being paranoid by keeping my family away and being afraid?

I have a question regarding a neighbor's dog. We have three hounds (one blue tick and two bassets) who are wonderful animals. Yes, I am biased. My concern is with one of my neighbor's Huskies.



Yesterday she bit my oldest dog. This is the forth dog she has bit to my knowledge. She also bit my husband when he foolishly tried to break up a dog fight. The attacks seem unprovoked. When I approach the husky she lays her ears back, crouches low to the ground and growls. Needless to say I stay away.



My neighbor says his dog knows the difference between dogs and people and would never attack a person. Am I being paranoid by keeping my family away from this dog and being afraid?



A side note - it is my humble opinion that this dog spends too much time chained up on a 15' chain. Any opportunity she gets to escape she takes off. This is generally when the attacks occur.



Respectfully,
Elizabeth
