Just sickening. I know many people don't want to read these posts but people have to be made aware of the danger that is out there both to children and animals. Even the most friendly of dogs can quickly be incited to attack by actions that we as humans do not notice.
A big energetic dog that lives in a fenced yard can easily slide out the door accidently and go on a rampage. That same dog that only barked at you through the fence when you were walking by is now a loose cannon looking to vent it's frustrations on something or someone nearby.
I have always carried a stick when walking Gracie but I live in the country and only have to be concerned about wild animals. When we walk in the park near town I learned from yorkietalkjilly to carry a big push button umbrella to protect Gracie from dogs. Honestly, I feel safer warding off the wild animals than I do the dogs that people have in town. When I am at the park or in town things are much more unpredictable. |
