[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I agree with your husband...I wouldn't want my DC playing outside with such a psycho neighbor and his dog either.  I was bit in the face by our family dog when I was a teenager (similar to the way that reporter was bit recently), [b]and I'll never be comfortable again with my DC near dogs that aren't on leashes[/b].  I don't mind dogs per se, but I know how even the most gentle family dog can get spooked in an instant.[/quote]

I don't get this comment.  I mean, I do get not being comfortable with your kid around unleashed dogs.  But you were bitten by a family pet, not a strange animal.  Plus, if your kid is petting a leashed dog, the leash won't stop the dog from biting him.  [/quote]

Not the PP, but what's not to get.  If your OWN dog, that you know, hurt you once, why would you be comfortable with strange dogs that you don't know?  And a leash will prevent a strange dog from approaching you if you don't want to be near one.  A person that is afraid of strange dogs is unlikely to go up to one, even if it is on a leash.  A child can run up to a dog on a leash, but at least one side of the equation is solved by preventing the dog from coming up to the child.  Come on now, this is pretty simple.[/quote]
