Hello
I would really be greatful for any advice as I don't know what to do.
my Neighbours dog is the one I am concerned about, Jessie (the dog) is a black patterdale terrier cross type dog with white patches on her paws I don't know her age or if she has been spayed, the problem is that her owner my next door is an irresponsible owner and I don't know how to help Jessie they NEVER walk her, me and my husband moved here in March this year and within the first week we saw her roaming the area/ the street we live on, on her own with no collar at first I thought she must have escaped until I saw next door come out and shout at her and after 20mins of trying to catch her, when she did she dragged her by the fur on her neck and it was clear the dog was in pain when she was being dragged. the next day I saw her out again for 2hrs on her own with no collar again and this time I went out and the front door was open so I know that they let her go out on her own and I know they know she is out there but this time she did not bother with her just let her come in, in her own time. in April after a month of seeing her on her own everyday I contacted the council as I know they live in a council house and they told me they cant be fussed with dealing with that

. so I decided to email the RSPCA as I had been watching her and saw that there was a lot more that I did not know one day when I was in I heard her barking and went to look outside my window and she was chasing a cyclist and he nearly fell of his bike as she was going after his bike wheels and then 5mins later a elderly fellow on a motor scooter was going past and she ran up to him like the cyclist and started barking and trying to get his wheels as well. she was also barking at every dog and owner who went past and none of the people who walk past are happy she gets hit a lot by people walking past who she barks at. she even barks at me when I go out of my front door. but that day with the cyclist next door was in and once he had gone, next door went out into her car and was laughing and left Jessie outside and next-door just drove off leaving the dog out on her own

. after seeing that I decided to email the RSPCA
3 weeks later she was still roaming so I phoned them instead and they said they would deal with it, then in June I phoned again as she was still barking at people and other dogs and has got nearly run over so many times that I had enough and phoned again and they said that there was no evidence of neglect

. granted she is in good body condition but for goodness sake she is a danger to herself and others she could get hit by a car or attack a child and its not nice her running up to you and barking. the council wont help and either will the RSPCA , I have also phoned the dog warden but as since as I know who's dog it is they wont help. yesterday she ran up to a pram with a baby in it and there was also a young girl walking besides the pram with her mother and the dog ran over to them and started barking following them, the baby was crying and the girl started screaming the mother hit Jessie with her handbag and Jessie ran away and next door was out laughing and that was it I had got so fed up of this so went out there and gave her a piece of my mind I wont repeat what I said as it was not very nice but I just did not care she clearly dose not care what happens to this dog and she thinks its funny when people get chased or barked at. well I don't and I don't know what to do. next door has 3 kids and I have gathered she got the dog for them but they don't even care.
I live in the UK, please can someone help me , I really want to help this poor dog she would be a lovely dog in the right hands.
