Were you witness to your dogs death? It seems unlikely that another dog is responsible, remember that you are in bear country. Living in the annex I wouldn’t be surprised that an animal is getting into your yard for your dog or your garbage, especially if both are being left outside unattended . What is shocking about this story is not the fact that these things happened, but your attitude, you immediately put blame on " wild rampant dogs" and yet refuse to describe them, lashing out at people who are posting here trying to understand and help you with your problem.
Im not saying that your child being chased by dogs is not severe, it is, and should never happen again, but wouldn’t it seem more responsible to just go and talk to the dogs owners? Or keep things like garbage inside or in the garage untill pickup? or take precautions against bears and coyotes, instead of threatening your neighbours?
It seems to me the real danger in the community is your "I dont give a damn" attitude towards problems that others in the same neighbourhood know how to deal with in a responsible fashion. I hope you will take full responsibility for any rash and violent action you make, and pay for it dearly, because If I hear of any dead dogs being discovered I know exactly who to point to.
