You are a gracious person with a great deal of patience. If it were my neighbor, they would have collected their dog's dead and decaying bodies long ago. Having taken out wandering mutts among our livestock on the farm more than once, I would have absolutely no hesitation whatsoever to put one (or more) down to protect a member of my family.
And yes, I, too, own a rescue pet (a mini-schnauzer named Booker)...
