Dog Bite...
- Thread starter Bowowee
- Start date
Well I for one am not going to let a dog charge me, not knowing if it will attack or run off. If a dog is "charging" that is enough for me to take action.
Whether pepper spray, or lethal action.
I would rather a dog be stopped in its tracks, than to risk harm to a human being, whether me or someone else.
It all comes back to the owner of the dog. If it were not running at large, NONE of this could ever happen.
If dog owners would take responsiblity for their dogs this would not even be an issue.

First off... any good trainer will tell you that any thing with teeth can bite. I agree to having spray on your person. I carry "Muzzle" a pepper type spray to ward off dogs... I have a dog that is blind in one eye and has epilepsy...he has a great heart but can not defend himself. I have been "challanged" by 3 dogs while I was walking him ( at different times) before I bought the spray. Luckily, I was able to get the dogs away from my buddy. But I now carry spray whenever I do any dog sitting or walking. I don't have the stats on what breeds do what and when.... they are superficial to me to a point. There are too many factors to weigh in.... the owner, the dog, the breeding, the enviornment...etc... but we all know the ones who make the news. That is the bottom line... Sorry, but wolf breeds are not on the top.

I just thank god that very few police carry guns around here. Hearing about the American Police force makes me really not ever want to go over there. It seems alot less safe than Turkey...Personally I think that all dogs that aren't purposly being used for breeding by proffesionals should really be neutered so you don't get 'accidents' and those who think puppies would be a cute idea and have no idea what after they have arrived to do with them. (also a test would be good thing for people to do before they can have a dog. I mean at least then more people will actully feed and look after it proberly)
I personally have never been attacked by any dog. I do get 'charged' at by a couple of dogs I know, and that is only cos they are soo over excited at seeing me (I dog walked them for 4 weeks), besides, I doubt any owner would be pleased if I peppered sprayed a dog that only cam over to say hello. Dogs need to have a chance to meet other dogs and get friends like us.

Like risking their lives everyday protecting dumb*ss people.
My husbands department has set up "christmas for needy kids" from funds and donations. Each child in their county that signed up will get toys and clothes for christmas. Kinda like toys for tots, but on a much smaller scale.
The sheriff and the deputys will deliver the presents. I just hope it will help the children to learn the opposite of what most are being taught by their parents.
There is so much more, but no sense in wasting time.

Julie, you're right in a limited sense, but so is Malabui . . . From all of my years working and dealing with law enforcement, unless I knew exactly which officer or deputy would answer my call (which is impossible), I'd only make a 911 call as an absolute last resort - and maybe not even then. I'd just as soon take my chances. You wouldn't believe the dangerous buffoons they give guns and badges to here And they endanger the good cops - often intentionally - that really are trying to be civil servants

Just make sure the wind is not against you coz chances are the pepper spray might hit your face. Happened to me before, It hurts a lot.
I hope that the pain went away fastWow that is really nice of that department. Lets hope that that kind of association will help them not fear the police and teach them how not to get into trouble when they are older
