[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I hate irresponsible owners for not leashing their dogs.[/b]  The dog who attacked will probably be put down and possibly needs to be if it attacked and killed  a small dog.  That’s not normal dog behavior.  A child could be next.

While we were on a walk on leash, my smallish dog was attacked by a dog off leash and it was terrifying.  I wrestled the larger dog’s jaws off my dog’s neck, picked up my dog and ran.  Fortunately the larger dog wasn’t a pit mix.

Op, you can anonymously report the attack to animal control in your area if nothing’s been done.[/quote]

OP, we own both large and small - I like the special clothes for the dog idea, if it works (I am not familiar with it).  Otherwise, pepper spray, and I agree with kicking the attacking dog.  Professional dog people say to take the attacking dog by the hind legs and pull away (like a wheel barrow). I would not run, it would provoke matters. Just my dog owner opinion. Otherwise, NVER have your dog loose - voice control or not.  It is beyond irresponsible.  Not saying you would, but some dog owners have no sense. [/quote]
