[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He didn't hit your dog.  what is the big deal if he had a stick?  [b]a 5' stick sounds like a walking stick to me, lots of people use them for support when walking/hiking[/b].  It's a perfectly legitimate thing for a person to have.  I have two handmade ones in my basement that were given to me as a wedding gift.  You need to chill out, and install a real fence because those invisible fences suck.[/quote]

Yes, especially for an elderly gentleman who may not be as steady on his feet as a middle aged person. An elderly person cannot run away quickly if a dog were to come after him; at least the walking stick can give him some measure of defense if he is attacked until help can arrive. 
And, yes, those electric fences do not appear to be terribly secure, so I can certainly understand an elderly person feeling nervous when walking by a house where a dog is only restrained by such a "fence."

In many countries, elaborately decorating walking sticks is a lovely folk art. They are quite beautiful and usually come from a culture that values hiking and the outdoors.[/quote]

The dude was shaking that lovely piece of folk art at a dog, getting the dog riled up. ?![/quote]

What an asshole. [/quote]
