[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree 100%. We had to put down our beloved dog because of this. A strange man suddenly reach down to pet our dog and our dog bit his hand in self defense. The man then threatened to sue us. It was heartbreaking and I wish he would have just asked if he could pet him and I would have said no because my dog was a rescue and had always been afraid of men he didn’t know.[/quote]

I am so sorry!  I wish you didn't have to put your dog down because of that guy.  [/quote]

They didn't put down the dog because of the guy.  The dog was put down because of an irresponsible owner.  Thankfully it was an adult not a child.  The dog and the guy deserved better.[/quote]

BS.  A person put their hand in front of a dog’s face which is a provocative move.  If someone did that to me they would get pepper spray and a 911 call.  All perfectly legal.  Keep your hands to yourself.  If you can’t control yourself I recommend a good therapist to work through your issues.

I’m not a dog person (we have one because of DH), but I am someone who has no patience with stupid people.[/quote]

If someone bumped you, or touched you in public, and you bit them, you'd go to jail, not them.  [/quote]

I guarantee you that I would not go to jail for hitting, pushing or pepper spraying someone who tried to pat my face or approach me in a threatening way.

In what world do you live in where this is remotely normal behavior?  In is not normal or appropriate to get in someone’s personal space (any living creature).  This includes, but not limited to, pinching babies’ cheeks, patting pregnant women’s stomachs, and petting dogs you don’t know.  Once again, keep your hands to yourself and teach your children the same thing and all will be well.[/quote]

+1.  [/quote]
