I haven't met any big and dangerous dogs here. I have met some that seems angry but they are always on the leash.
When I used to live on Bonaire you could see a lot of big loosen dogs. When walking or jogging with my mom we were always careful but thank goodness nothing ever happened.
I think that being prepared (even though you have never come across a big and or dangerous dog) is a must. You never know what can happen and being prepared can help you. your dog, your kids or even someone in need. | Unfortunately it is a very big problem in the US. Just last week a female jogger was killed by a pack of four pit bulls in a desert city north of Los Angeles. The authorities put out a $25,000 reward for finding the dogs. Usually IF they give a reward, it's for the arrest and conviction of the owner, but this time it was for the dogs! I haven't heard any more regarding the dogs. |
