In the original email on Congo, Zoe was clear that 1) the gardner, while
illegal and not English speaking was spoken to by the owner in Spanish, there
was no misunderstanding. and 2) the gardner climbed over the fence, not
through a gate, to 'start work' and that he was confronted by the puppies whom
he
started beating with a rake. This drew the wife's and sire's attention to
the outside and where the comotion was.
That's not even close. It has been in all of our local papers and there are
at least 4 versions by now. The most popular is that there was a language
barrier AND the gate was open AND the wife and possibly one puppy were outside
of the "traditionally fenced" area. (Guess that electric part didn't work so
well, huh?)
Here, from the Trentonian:
"James has taken great pains to point out that, even though the gate to his
fenced-in yard has been left open in the past, the dogs have been trained not
to leave the property.
Kathy here...yeah right...puppies? Must be some KIND of dog
trainer....continuing from the Trentonian:
He said they also have electronic sensors that shock them when they approach
an invisible fence along the propertyâ??s perimeter.
Kathy here...how's THAT working for you?...continuing....
However, Elizabeth James had that morning been out searching for one of the
puppies, which had strayed into that territory between the conventional and
invisible fences, James has acknowledged.
Kathy here...didn't see THAT coming...continuing...
The workers, all agree, got out of their car upon seeing Elizabethâ??s vehicle,
and the dogs, which had been feeding in a rear yard, came around to
investigate. About here, the two sides of the story diverge."

So, a puppy got out, the lady was searching the neighborhood for it, the
"traditional" gate was open, yada yada.
My point was, to avoid anyone being able to open your gate put latches on
the insides of your gates. It doesn't exactly parallel the above, in which
the
traditionally fenced area was by all accounts, open, there was an electric
fence which was ineffective (duh!), but for anyone who wants to be cautious,
latches are a good idea.
Congo's story was complicated because a gate was open which I'm betting (and
it's a pretty good bet) is why there was liability. (BTW, I have fences that
can't be "climbed" without a ladder.) If the party in question had
effective fencing this never would have happened.
