[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"I'm supposed to be sympathetic to what?"  I wonder how many times your spouse and child will be on the other end of that attitude in your lifetime.  Aren't you worried that you will  end using that pepper spray on a loved one?

By the way, I never said you shouldn't defend yourself from aggressive dogs. It's the rando dog that is just friendly that you should not attack. Remember, it's the owner, not the dog that should be the target your ire. [/quote]

NP here, the problem is that when your "rando friendly" dog is bounding towards me and my child, I have no way of knowing that he is in fact friendly, until it's too late.  In my lifetime, I've seen too many bites from dogs that the owners described as "friendly".

In my experience, the best behaved dogs are those with owners who teach their dogs boundaries, and are willing to invest time in them  If you're too lazy to walk with your dog, and have no boundaries yourself, I'm going to be skeptical that you're telling the truth when you yell "Oh, is he bothering you, he just wants you to scratch his ears, don't be silly he's friendly."
