When a dog attack occurs, you call the police. The dog is not your property and not your place to resolve the issue. If the dog is aggressive or has a history of attacking people, it will be seized by the authorities. That's what they're there for.

In my city, if you call the cops about a stray or wild dog, with or without collar and ID, you get a follow-up call shortly thereafter from a private "animal care" service. The service will, for the low low low price of $300, catch the animal and dispose of it, including cremation.
This is nothing more than the municipality washing its hands of a responsibility. And in any case, the animal is always "disposed of." I don't mean at the animal shelter.
The person in question operates his service out of a small van and says he does about 4 calls per day, on the average. $6000 a week, to believe him.
I know all this because a 90 year old neighbor asked me to call about her flowers being ruined by a stray dog. So I called the city, then the animal service, got the 411.
