No, it's not an assault if I pepper spray your off-leash dog. I have no way of predicting your animal - your legal responsibility is to be in control of your animal at all times. If you're not in control of your animal, good luck trying to explain that to any police officer or animal control officer. Both have explicitly told me that I am well within my rights to pepper spray an unleashed or unrestrained dog if it comes up to me.

Good luck explaining your illegal behavior to the cops - I would love, love to see you try.

It's like hitting somebody with a car because they are jaywalking... you will look lovely in handcuffs.

Actually, there are numerous cases of jaywalkers being cited after being hit by cars: http://www.tbd.com/blogs/tbd-on-foot/2010/08/rollerblader-gets-hit-by-van-wakes-up-in-hospital-with-jaywalking-ticket-51.html (the article mentions several of them).

If you're breaking the law, don't expect the police to be on your side. And if you're walking with an unleashed dog, the police will cite you if it approaches someone and they feel threatened enough to use pepper spray. There is no legal consideration given to a dog off-leash in that situation.

You mean hope you never need to falsify insurance claims and every other illegal thing in the book. You do realize you make the criminals look good especially ones that let their dogs off a leash.

I am sure you make lots of money along with the bankers that bankrupted our economy.

No thanks ... I will NEVER NEED YOU.

People need to get a grip.

Dogs react very, very quickly. I'm not going to wait for a dog to lunge or jump on me to protect myself. Properly trained dogs should not just be going up to people.

You clearly know nothing about dogs.

I do, but it doesn't matter. Your dog is your full and total responsibility. Own up to it.

I do, but thanks for the lecture.

Still don't think you anything about dogs though.

Not PP, but OH SHIT! I missed the MANDATORY REQUIREMENT FOR HUMANS TO BE EDUCATED ABOUT STRANGE DOGS! Fuck, do you think I can be arrested for this!? Is it against the law!?

Sure if it is an accident... psycho pepper spray lady is abusing dogs that are anywhere within reach.

No, not "if it is an accident."

The police don't cite people who are defending themselves against law-breakers. Period.

Sorry you are not bright enough to understand. I doubt you have the mental capacity to understand nearly anything, given your responses on this thread.

I hope all you posters also train your kids not to run up screaming and yelling to dogs who *are* leashed and stick their hands in its face with no manners whatsoever. We have neighbor kids who play in the street often and my dog is frequently unleashed in our front fenced (except for the driveway entrance) yard. One of the kids will occasionally come INTO our driveway, others close on his heels, without asking and try and play with our dog, and it frustrates the hell out of me. He's really good with kids, has a lot of patience, and doesn't leave our yard, but I worry for those kids that don't know any better around less well-behaved dogs.

I am appalled at the entitlement of thinking that a strange, unleashed dog going up to people, that those people should just suck it up.
