Oh, no doubt that was the owner's fault. The dogs were ruined by the owner and her boyfriend and should have been put down long ago. I've been outside at dark thirty in the morning getting ready to head out for work when her boyfriend would have one or mor of the dogs out front. If he saw a cat, he would sick the dogs on them. By the time he moved out, the little 5 foot tall chick had no chance of controling them. Like I said, I have nothing against the breed per se. But these two are a different story. It's personal. Whether it was their fault or the owner's fault, the end result is the same.

Oh, antifreeze, while effective, would not be up close and personal enough. Besides, there could be collateral damage and that wouldn't do. This would require some actual hands on for a successful resolution.
