Now, Diego is even worse, Ms. Montoya said. He even bolted off the porch and bit a passer-by the other day.

This kind of shit enrages me. Bringing an uninvited dog to a party is bad enough, but if you're so irresponsible that your dog is attacking others, you need to be barred from owning pets altogether. Many of these dog owners aren't even capable of seeing that they're the problem. While walking my dog (on a leash) I've had numerous run-ins with neighbors' dogs who are completely uncontrolled and aggressive. They either offer a sheepish smile and a mumbled "sorry" when they finally leash their growling, barking animal, or they become enraged when I kick it or hit it with a stick while it's attacking my dog or threatening me.
This is more than just a matter of courtesy; when you have an animal that is capable of injuring another person, it's your duty to keep it under control 100% of the time.
