lumieretoo Posted October 8, 2015 Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 I feel sorry for them, but at least they are fed and have cover from the elements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbviajero Posted October 8, 2015 Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 My neighbor has two roof dogs,one is a constant yapper,the other is a pit bull who occasionally jumps off the roof to attack people who pass by,one neighbor,a retired doctor broke his ankle running away from this vicious animal,another time one of the water delivery guys had to climb a fence to avoid being attacked.I don't feel sorry for them,at all.

Lexy Posted October 8, 2015 Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 I do feel sorry for them. Bad owner. Perhaps you should post an address for us so we can be wary of this pit bull. It's dangerous. Lexy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lexy Oh, she's a bad owner alright,but she's not the one yapping or attacking people it's her dogs.The address is in Guadalajara. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Berca Posted October 8, 2015 Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 The two pictured appear to have food, water, shelter and each other for companionship. A pretty good life compared to many others here, sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcscats Posted October 8, 2015 Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 Easy folks.....Dogs and cats lakeside have it good compared to situation described in Guad. Keep it in mind please. Do you remember a few years ago when we had loose packs of Dogs running around at night in parts of Ajijic??? It was scary a little. The roof dog issue is fire. Use to think I knew until I lived next to a roof dog near plaza in Ajijic. Gained respect for them. Good ones and bad ones but I agree with Al Barka (joke). I use to carry a heavy walking stick in Ajijic. I don't feel the need anymore if that says anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHILLIN Posted October 8, 2015 Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 We met with a Mexican doctor on Monday, he is very interesting gentleman and a lot of fun. He was telling us many in Guadalajara treat their domestic help very poorly. He was saying that the worse thing to call a female was "la gata". As far as he knows this is only in Jalisco. This is offensive because often the help has to work on the roof of the house, making them nothing more than "roof cats". The people owning these roof dogs will get what they deserve in rainy season. So many of the older home roofs leak here - all that filth and smell leaking into the house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbviajero Posted October 8, 2015 Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 "Gata"is an offensive term referring to housekeepers,I don't think that it's unique to Jalisco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryB Posted October 8, 2015 Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 animal complaints need to be made to the ecology office in Chapala. They should address barking dogs, attacks and abuse cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yo1 Posted October 8, 2015 Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 It's now against the law to leave a dog on the roof without food, water or shelter from the elements. The owners can be turned in to Ecologia. (sp) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gringal Posted October 8, 2015 Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 IMO, the most important item in this thread is the mention of a pit bull jumping off the roof and attacking people. That needs to be reported. The original picture looked like the dogs were getting food and shelter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
