| ![]() This is exactly my dad bought me a small can of mace. The natural stuff not a chemical. There are 4 pit bulls across the street from where i work. Every once in a while after I take Wrigley outside my dad sees the 4 come over sniffing around. It's a scarry thought. |

| ![]() Do you have a leash law? If so, I would not hesitate to report them. My father had a dashound killed by german shepherds who, according to their owner, would not hurt a fly. This woman might think about getting a better fence and controling her dogs if she has to pay a hefty fine for them getting out. I paid the fine a few years ago when our lab and spitz got out and ended up at the pound, and it wasn't cheap ![]() If you don't have a leash law, you may wish to lobby for one. It could save an innocent dog, or even a person's life. |

| ![]() We have new neighbors with a large German shepherd that runs loose. We're rural, but come ON! Anyway, the first time we encountered him, I was surprised -- of course. I grabbed Susan up and stuffed her inside my coat. It occurred to me later that I could have insured my own mauling that way. Even so, I wasn't really afraid for myself, only Susan. I'm very short, but I have lots of "presence" when the mood strikes and it had struck big time. I used my best "teacher" voice to tell the dog to SIT. I took it by the collar and by golly it did sit. The owner later told me it has no obedience training, so I guess I just surprised it into sitting. Since that time I've realized that the shepherd (his name is Odin) doesn't really seem to recognize Susan as a dog, and that worries me a bit. When we had big dogs we understood that they were scary to other people; why can't other big dog owners get it? |

| ![]() Wow, i totally know that feeling and it makes me SO MAD!!! I walk my Yorkies at a nice park across the road from where I live and I always walk on the on leash side with my dogs on leash and i get so mad when peoples huge un-trained dogs come running up to my dogs. I always end up yelling at the stupid owners to go on the off leash side of the park or put their damn dog on a leash if they can't control it. And then i ALWAYS get the rude comment of "well my dog won't hurt your little thing" OR "My dog wants nothing to do with your Fufu dogs" oh it makes me so mad. People are so rude and dumb. I would love for once to just have a nice uninterupted walk with my Yorkies for once. ![]()

| ![]() Well..not knowing the situation reporting the lady might be overreacting. She might have just gone out to get her mail and left the door open one split second and they got lose..we ALL know this happens even to the best of us!! Thank God nothing happened and I can't imagine your fear...I would have pee'd my pants..lol. People who let their dogs run loose in neighborhoods are LAZY!! They are too lazy to take their dogs for walks or to take their dogs out on leash to do their business....it's something that should NOT be tolertated. It doesn't have to be big dogs either. There's a boston terrier in my neighborhood who comes after me and my dog, who's on leash, quite often. Once i even had to kick it hard to get it away from my baby (bichon/poodle mix). I'm not talking sniffing or playing, I'm talking teeth gnarled trying to bite. I've called the owners about it every time it happens and they act so shocked and suprised and swear they will keep it on leash from now on!! YEAH RIGHT!! Last call i said i will call police everytime it happens from now on...and guess what...it hasn't happened again..*crossing fingers* Anyway i guess the point is thank god nothing happened and this isn't a neighborhood you live in and have to deal with these dogs everyday. I'd just let it go and say a little THANK YOU prayer to the heavens above. |

| ![]() How scary! i would have been terrified too! We can't be too careful with our delicate precious babies..they might not have meant any harm but you just cant take the risk! My Heidi was once the victim of an over playful Rotty..and she ended up with a puncture wound on her back that had to be stapled! she didn't even yelp! she was such a tough little cookie! she was grabbed by a greyhound too..but thankfully escaped unhurt..after all those close shaves..and many other incidents with larger dogs..it made me very nervous..and i just would pick her up when any dog came along. I'm going to be a nervous wreck with my new baby Pixie when i start taking her out..im definatley gonna be an over protective mummy! ![]()

| ![]() That must have been scary. I'm weary of any dog off leash, big or small. I feel it's really irresponsible. Lately at our local park there are a group of about 10 people (5 cars) that set out lawn chairs and let their dogs.. all different sizes and shapes run all over the park. They come over to us EVERY time and the owners never even run over to them.. just keep screaming their name. I'm sorry, but the rules are keep your dogs leashed, it is a public park, NOT your backyard. |
