Long n Mean

I know dachshunds to be a pretty aggressive breed, and actually wish I could find something funny about these dogs, but I can't, and I've been trying for months now.
I don't know who XYZ is, but I know who I am, and I know my aunt-by-marriage, who was bitten in the face by an ill-trained dachshund, and I tell my daughter to steer very clear of these two dogs on Orange Street. They *have* bitten another dog of my acquaintance, the owners clearly need to get a tighter rein on these animals, and I worry, seriously, about something really bad happening here. I'm glad someone posted this issue to SCF and hope some not-horrifying solution to the issue can be arrived at before something very unfortunate happens. Signed, Jewish Mother who is, ok, a bit of a worrywart, but who really seriously loves dogs but has deep reservations about these two.

This is so interesting. I had no idea dachsunds were known for being vicious! Maybe it's analogous to the short-man syndrome?

I think it is illegal in New Haven to leave dogs unleashed. If these dogs are running around unleashed on Orange Street, they are going to be flattened, killed, by a car. I don't understand why dog owners don't get this simple fact.
