I would think because you have no contract you can only call animal control. Not saying I would but if you do and the dog is being fed and is not an abuse issue you could start a back and forth. I only say that because of the husband is a cop and you have been contacted about harrasment. In this day and age of litagations and the way cops can stick together each step should calculated move but I am sure you are more aware of that stuff than myself. Good luck to you actually you are in a bad spot. You care. Hope the dog is healthy and happy and the situation ends peacefully.

If he looks like he did in those pictures it boggles my mind that she thinks (and the vet thinks) he looks fine! Is her pride in the way? Very strange.

Denial. Pure & simple. She has a dog that she cares for & is proud of, & she's got those rose colored glasses on. Pointing out to her that she's 'doing it wrong' or 'doing wrong by the dog' will only make her feel threatened & victimized, & may even stiffen her resolve to continue on her current path. As sad as it sounds, she'll have to be enlisted with praise & lots of support to make her 'feel good' about rethinking her approach to this dog's care. I know it sounds vile, but especially if her hubby's a cop, he's going to want to protect her, & if the dog's putting his wife into a position that they percieve as being harrassed or threatened, they may ditch the dog.
Is there some one else who could approach them, some one neutral to the situation, who could act as a coach or EPI-dog buddy, you know, "Oh, your dog has EPI? Mine too, he looked just like that before I".....insert intervention here. "I know this really great vet..." insert referral here. You know how women share there beauty & child-rearing secrets? Someone who could be that person for her dog care. Sad that you have to deal with it like that, but this woman & her husband obviously have now decided you're the bad guy. Too bad they can't see the truth staring at them like the poor dog's hip-bones. But that's how people are, sometimes. If you want to help this dog, you're going to have to play by their rules. Good luck. jackie harris
