我报过警，以下是经过。开头的英文是我给警官写的信。
I went to send the lunchbox to my son. On the way back home, a big dog barked furiously at me. It was not leashed. I was frightened and cried: “Ah!” The owner, an old white man, saw my terrified face and seemed to try to get the leash with his foot, but failed. Then the big dog ran towards me and howled around me for about one minute. I was so scared, but the man did not care much. I could do nothing but wave my small bag to try to drive the dog away. For that long (to me) time, the old man just stood about 10 meters away and watched, only saying “Come here!” a few times. I wanted to run and the dog became more furious. I had to move near the old man. At last I managed to stand beside the old man and he got the leash. I raged, but he said the dog was just playing. How could a howling dog be a friendly one!
I felt so bad that I wanted to report it to the police. At that time the old man was sitting on the nearby bench. I took a photo secretly. I hesitated and walked on: I do not have enough time to report it. After a while when I returned to see whether he was still there or not, I found he had gone with his dog. Then I met another parent. She said the same dog (I showed her the picture) jumped on her suddenly the other day at almost the same place. She didn’t dare to move and then the dog ran off. She said the old man just watched and did not try to stop his dog at all. When finally he asked her: “Are you OK?” She gave him an angry look. She was not as frightened as me because another male parent was with her at that time. And she did not report as she was only a visitor. But she said she could be a witness if needed.
At last I decided to report it, because there are so many children around and I am afraid to go to the school again.
我中午去送饭，遇到凶猛的狗。已经报警，RCMP (皇家骑警)给转到了SPCA(动物保护协会），警官说一周以内会有人在附近巡逻，寻找到那个不系狗绳的老白人，以给他警告。一年之内甚至之后，如果看见这个不系狗绳的老白人，都可随时汇报。还说SPCA 下午6点就下班（周末5点），如果看见不系狗绳的老白人，就向RCMP报告。这样感觉就好多了。
儿子放学后说从来没见过那条不友好的狗，而他整天走那条路，但是别的家长也被袭击过。
我觉得那个不系狗绳的老白人就住在C家附近，于是把照片发给C妈妈，让她确认。第二天傍晚，C妈妈打电话说那老人就住在她家楼下，她下楼查看了楼号，又打电话告诉我。她说以前是一条更大的狗，已经死了。两条狗都让她讨厌。现在的狗见到她就闻，还舔她的靴子，不是舔一下、两下的，而是很长时间，而老人都不在场。有一次，她急着赶公交车，而那狗却舔个没完，直到C用脚踩住狗绳，她才得以脱身。这些我都通过email向动物保护协会的警官D汇报了，包括那老人的具体地址，免得大冷天（最近晴天、降温）人家在外巡逻、寻找。
第二天，D来电话，语速很快，我只明白大意：他去那老人家了，那狗一下子扑向他。老人为我受到惊吓道歉。D严厉地告诫老人以后要看好狗，免得骚扰附近居民。他说并不是每个人都喜欢被狗趴到身上（这次估计狗扑到D身上了），而且狗爪子也脏。还暗示老人：他年龄大了，一定好好牵狗绳，免得体弱的他无法控制狗的行动。D征求我的意见，说如果我起诉那老人，老人会受到$100的罚款。我回答：道了歉，以后注意管好狗就行了，毕竟看起来是个孤独的老人，就不起诉了。最后D问我对结果是否满意，我向他致谢。他说以后只要发现那狗有扰民行为，可随时向动物保护协会（看来也保护人）报告。
