i support your brother as well. This dog in my neighborhood almost killed my dog by biting him and bit my neighbor in the face and bit his own daughter and we have filed restraints to keep the dog locked up. We live out in the middle of nowwhere where most dogs run free. My dad told me if im ever hunting and see the dog to shoot him if he comes near me. I dont know if i could do that but if it was a threat to me i might.
