My neighbors dog will not stop barking. It’s like they just leave him outside in the cold. He’s a pit bull so he doesn’t have a thick coat and I’m from Michigan so it’s snowing. My dog barks sometimes when he’s outside but I tell him to stop and I don’t leave him our longer than he needs to be. I try to be polite of my other neighbors but these neighbors don’t care. Some background

This was their sons dog but I guess since their son was in the service he couldn’t have a dog, so they took him. Then the son got married and had a kid and got another pit bull. Idk why they haven’t taken their dog back but their parents have been so careless with their dog.

2 years ago on the 4th of July they left it outside and it dug a hole under the vinyl fence they built (there’s a gap big enough for it to fit its head under) and when my bro and his gf went to leave our house it jumped into their car and wouldn’t get out till their son got home. A few days later my dog was outside and it bit my dog causing $400 in vet bills and pain. They wouldn’t even pay $200 even tho their dog wasn’t hurt at all. A pit bull vs a border collie/Shetland sheepdog, who’s gonna win? Their dog has gotten out multiple times and has came into our backyard even tho he has prior history with violence with my dog. One time we were outside and so were the neighbors. Someone in a car drove by and said “is this someone’s dog?” And it was the neighbors dog. They seemed so careless about it. I would be freaking out if my dog got out.

And now they are just letting it sit out there literally crying and barking. I want to write a note asking them nicely to not let their dog bark like that cus not only does it make it hard to focus on my homework. But my mom who doesn’t get much sleep on the weekend her room is right next to their backyard so she can barely sleep with their dog barking. In no way do I want to be rude but I just want to let them know that their dog barking is disrupting the peace. Should I talk to them? What would you do?
