{ "dialog": "Eve: That probably has a lot to do with it. I would feel sorry for her too, as it is very sad in general. However, it doesn't excuse the fact that her animal attacked two other dogs.\nJoseph: I've talked to the neighbors face-to-face and they just think that I overreacted. The woman started getting her dog and private training and so they feel that she was trying. My point was that my dog weighs 15 pounds and her dog weighs 45 pounds and, if it happens again, I may not have a dog anymore. I don't want to wait until a dog is killed or badly injured. I told them exactly what you just said, but they are being mean!\nJoseph: I guess I could try talking to them again. Maybe they've cooled off some.\nEve: That is absolutely terrible. In that case, I would just tell them that you refuse to allow another dog to possible injure or kill your own dog, so you did what was necessary to protect your fur-baby. Had you not done anything, this could have happened again, and the outcome may have been much worse. At that point, if they still don't respond kindly, I'd tell them that you still feel as though you did what needed to be done, that you understand why they are upset, but that you will always do whatever it takes to protect your dog. Hopefully, they will stop being mean. Even if they just stop talking to you completely, it's better than them harassing you or something along those lines. If they do start escalating their nasty behavior, I'd let the manager of your complex know that you're being mistreated. I always try to keep things calm and quiet, but I refuse to be taken advantage of or treated poorly.\nEve: Personally, as I stated previously, I wholeheartedly believe that you did the right thing. If they're unable to see that, I'd try to just avoid contact with them unless it's necessary. I know it stinks and I'd be sad too, but unfortunately, some people just don't know how to let things go and seem to find joy in making other people upset. I'm so sorrry that you're dealing with all of this.\nJoseph: Thank you so much! Those are really good suggestions. I'll do that and, hopefully, they will calm down. If not, I have other friends that live outside my neighborhood. And I can talk to the manager like you said.\nJoseph: I appreciate your help today. And your validation that I did nothing wrong.
