I honestly don't know how to protect my dogs. I've stopped walking three of them at a time. They are perfectly behaved on a leash, but I don't have the ability to protect all three of them if we're under attack.
I've carried pepper spray, but there's no guarantee that's going to work, and there's no guarantee the wind is going to be favorable.
I don't want to beat another dog, but I do want to keep it away from mine. I'm thinking now of carrying a long stick, maybe 6 feet, to keep the dog away from mine.
I'm so disappointed with animal control. |
This is how I feel. Pepper spray is a gamble. Weapons, I just don't want to have to go there. This is why I complain so much about irresponsible people who do not control their dogs.
I am so sorry that the authorities are dropping the ball on this. It's a big disservice to poor Lucy and to the safety of your community.
