If the pup was off leash and the APBT was leashed and there is a leash law in effect then the fault legally lies with the EB pup owners. Maybe they haven't done anything because they talked to a lawyer and found out they were at fault. If there were any witnesses I would suggest your neighbor get their contact information and have them ready to give a statement or testify in court. I'd also take a look at the police/AC incident report and make sure it is accurate. Hopefully these people don't sue, but best to be prepared if they do.

Why anyone would pay out $2,000 for a dog and then let it run around off leash is beyond me.

I agree and disagree with the muzzling mentioned. In places with leash laws in effect you shouldn't have to muzzle your dog to walk it because other dogs should be on leash and unable to get within grabbing distance. However, I do know that in all reality loose dogs will still be a problem and muzzling a DA dog could be a good idea for the dog and the owner's protection.
