Should I tell my landlord our upstairs neighbor’s dog bit my husband twice in the past few months?

Upstairs neighbor is a single mom with a rescue pup and two grade school kids. We all moved into this house in August.

My husband was sitting in the backyard smoking back in September when one of the kids brought the dog out to pee and the dog got loose and bit my husband. Mom came out and apologized. My husband’s only concern was that the dog was up to date on its shots. Mom said yes.

Right after Christmas my husband was on the front porch smoking and they came out with the dog. It had a muzzle this time. It was able to reach behind my husband and bite him again, leaving a puncture wound this time. Mom apologized again and her boyfriend said the dog never does this. Everyone thinks my husband might look like the previous owner who abused the dog and this is why its aggressive towards him.

I’m not so forgiving and I worry someone in the future might get bit. What should I do?
