I have a neighbor that picked up a black lab some tine back. Its about 9 months now. Very sweet dog. Problem is its pretty obvious to me that the dog is very afraid of him and although I have not seen it I am sure its being beat on. When I am around the dog will actually hide behind me trying to avoid him.
I cant really call and turn it in cause I have never seen him do more than smack it one time but you can tell when he aproaches the dog or yells at it that it is being beat on. I have had a few dogs and I know the signs. And I know what it takes to make a dog act this way. I feel I should do something and talking to him is not an option. I hate to do nothing but not sure if there is anything at all I can do. Other than keep an eye out and try to catch him in the act.
