An island is a little town unto itself. Unless stray dogs were running around marauding and causing havoc whats the problem with the neighbor’s pooch (that you know) making a visit and wagging a hello?
An unknown pack running wild is a different story and speaks to callous owners.
I had a couple of hounds running loose on my property that we’re clearly escapees from their owner. They were running the woods (probably running deer) and properties and could not be approached and I was ready to put a quick end to their frolics with a bullet. I live in an extremely rural and private area so gun shots go un-noticed. They disappeared after a day or two and I didn’t have to take action.
