A little dog once nipped my 90 year old grandpa in his porch. My grandpa responded with a swift kidney blow from his cane.

The owner looked furious but caught me staring him in the eye in time to recompose himself and get off of our front yard.

The bloody nerve. You have your dog take its daily piss on our wall - a wall that my grandma cleans, btw. The dog takes its daily piss and my grandpa decides to ignore it, but then you don’t stop the thing from nipping him?

Oh well the dog pissed blood for a week after that

Had you or your grandparents thought about maybe first asking the owner to keep the dog off the property? Maybe conveying to the owner that your grandmother has been cleaning the wall and (I'm assuming) you and your family aren't a fan of dogs.
Im going to go on a limb here and guess you're not from a third world country? My grandparents got burglarized on average once per year. “Asking” Argentines to politely respect private property is cute.

That being said, my grandpa ignored the pissing. The kidney blow was in response to the nip. And the dog got lucky: the old man spent his life building roads in guerrilla infected mountains.
