| Re: Darn dog attacked us!!
I know how you feel...sort of. Gary and I haven't been attacked while on a walk, but we certainly have been charged by loose dogs.
Down at the end of my street there are people who own two pit bulls and they frequently leave them out in their yard, which btw has no fence. They do not have electric fencing either for the dogs, they are just "trained" not to leave the yard. Well for the most part they don't, but as soon as they see seomeone walking their dog down the road out they come.
They run up to you barking and it is soooo intimidating. Luckily they seem to be dog friendly, as the three times they have rushed out to us they all just sniffed. When they do this I just keep walking away telling Gary to leave-it, and by that time the owners have come out and begin yelling at their dogs.
I have talked to other neighbors about this and animal control has been called on them apparantly (I was going to call after the third rush incident). I can only HOPE that those dogs don't end up attacking someone or someone's dog. It just seems like it is waiting to happen.  |
