Dispute over pee

Victor was just saying we live at the neighborhood in peace for the last 7 years, all of a sudden we get a dog, we had argument with our neighbor.

I walk Samson everyday up and down my street, one lawn down the block is Samson's favourite because the owner of that house got 2 dogs, what happened was another neighbor located on the opposite side of this favourite house saw Samson pee and poop on that lawn. (Note: I always pick up after Samson, well I can't pick up pee.) Last week, he pretended he was going to get his mail, waited until I walked pass his side walk, sure enough Samson drops a few drizzle of pee on his bushes around the mailbox. Immediately he yelled at me: "Get your dog off my property! Walk your dog in your own property! Don't bring it here!"

"Sir, I am walking on the side walk here, this is not your property." I replied calmly.

"You are wrong! I take care of this lawn too! You can't bring your animal and pee over the neighborhood!" He is still screaming in a very annoying tone.

I started to have fire burning inside my stomach: "As long as I walk my dog with a leash and I pick up after my dog, I can walk anywhere I pleased." As I walked away, I told Samson, good boy, keep peeing!

Since this incident last week, I started to bring a cellphone with me when I walk Samson, this morning, when I walked the same route, this guy came running at me from the other end of the block while Samson pee on his mailbox pole! He was yelling: "Hey! Hey! Hey! Stop that!!!"

Immediately I called the security, reported I have been assaulted by my neighbor when I am walking my dog on the side walk, ask them to come help me at once.

I called Victor at home and he drove over to speak to this guy. Meanwhile I just waited patiently with Samson a few houses down on the street. Samson was lunging at that guy I am sure it senses the un-friendly energy towards me, I said to myself I must have to calm Samson down, the last thing I want the security people to see is my dog barking and lunging at people on our street. So I kept feeding small pieces of treat to Samson in his sit down position, he was then able to stay very calm when 2 dispatch security cars came, along with Victor's car and 3 neighbors rubber-necking.

He then declare to everybody he is an attorney, I have no rights to walk my dog on his property. I told him I did not walk on his property, I walk on the side walk and the dog sniff anywhere 4 feet from the side walk and pee as it pleases, I always pick up after my dog. Samson did go on the opposite neighbor's lawn because they have 2 dogs, my dog pick up their scent and go up to their lawn to do his business, that is not your lawn though.

The security spent a good 20 minutes to explain to this crazy guy that I can walk my dog on the side walk, my dog is allowed to pee and I did nothing wrong but he just wanted me to not let my dog pee on this bushes next to his mailbox. I said no, because that is the community's side, not his property side. Victor then tried to persuade me just skip his house and everything would be fine. I said no, this is not about his house, this is about my right. And I will stand up for it whatever it takes.
