Damn that’s a string of misfortunate events, I’m sorry. And DAMN, so sorry for the pup! So much animosity directed towards a pup!? Why?

Anyway get pepper spray, learn some basic self defense, and try to practice relaxing and meditating. Don’t ever let fear control you. Rather, let your instincts inform you.

Things will get better. Also don’t hesitate to call the cops on them. I’m no cop caller, but these situations warrant attention and remediation. These people should not be allowed to get away with this without any type of legal repercussions.
