Stages in Dover. It’s an absolute gem.

That dog should be under mandatory quarantine. At least for 10 days. Since the owner cannot control their dog, they will end up having to register it as “dangerous”. (This will be ordered by the court). The owner will have to formally register the dog as a dangerous animal, post signs on their property, muzzle the dog and keep in on a lead of no more than 3 feet when off property, notify the sheriff and animal control whenever it is loose, if outside and on property, the dog must be contained by a six foot fence. They may require it’s assessed by a animal behaviorist and undergo mandatory training. However, if that dog is on your property, without being under the control of its owner, you are 100% within your right to dispatch the animal. I’m sorry you’re going through this. I hope it all works out for you.

Call animal control in the morning. Your neighbors dog will have to be quarantined because of the injuries for 10 days. Depending on the severity, that dog may be registered as a nuisance or, I’m going to guess from the picture, will have to be registered as a “dangerous” animal. your neighbor will have to go to court (animal control will file a report along with the PD). Once you have that together, file a claim with your homeowners insurance (if you have it). They will go after your neighbor (or insurance) for damages. This part is easier if you go through an attorney, honestly. (Source: just went through the same thing with my pup). Best of luck to you and I hope your pup makes a full recovery.
