Maryeverett1: Thanks! He's usually very friendly and he definitely knows his place in the doggie dog world. He'll try to dominate with dogs his size or smaller but in front of big dogs, he's pretty much "do as you wish~~~". LOL It's really cute. |
I don't know about that. A big dog CAN just be standing there growling at you, but I'm not going to wait to get bitten before I decide to take action. I think I can judge intentions well enough that if I decide to kick out, I have a reason for it. Besides, at my age, my balance isn't good enough to do such a thing lightly!
Besides, go ahead and try to prosecute ME for protecting myself and property (which is what they consider our babies) when the dog is off-leash and violating the law. I wouldn't care if it saved my pups.
