Dear Abby: Their game with their dog is threatening our friendship
Briefly

The letter discusses two separate dilemmas faced by the writers. The first writer is troubled about their best friend's dog harassing local wildlife and is hesitant to confront them, fearing loss of friendship. The second writer is worried about their brother, who is infatuated with a woman involved with a friend, despite no signs of reciprocation. The advice given includes having difficult but necessary conversations and understanding the reality of relationships, emphasizing the importance of addressing issues directly to avoid resentment and further complications.
As I see it you have two choices. Either have the conversation you have been avoiding or visit your friend only at their home or on neutral territory.
I'm surprised the owners of some of those innocent cats haven't informed the authorities that a vicious dog harmed or killed their pet. If you witnessed such a thing, recognizing Carl's wife is sadistic, you should have made the call.
My brother is convinced that Mitch's wife will leave her husband for him, despite the fact that there has been no communication and she never expressed an interest.
I'm concerned that my brother is wasting his life pining after someone who is not an option for him. He has never been married, doesn't have children and lives in a rut.
