[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is why you take your dog to a fenced-in baseball diamond and exercise them there. So long as you do it when there's not a game or practice going on, you're not going to bother other people. You're not going to be stepping on other dogs' "residue" the way you do at a dog park. The dog gets exercise without you having to leash it or control it, so it can meet its natural instinct to explore. Win-win-win.[/quote]

If I see you on our baseball diamond that my husband and sons work hard maintaining...  Do you know how much money that costs?  You know that's trespassing, right?[/quote]

The level of entitlement & laziness with dog owners is way off the charts these days. [/quote]

The level of entitlement with those who think this is the Wild West is off the charts these days.

The lady with the dog was wrong.  100%.  But, if our inclination these days is just reach for the gun for anything and everything that frightens us . . . we have bigger problems in this country.  While the man who shot the dog may not be criminally responsible, he lacks ethics and a moral foundation. He should not have a gun.[/quote]

I agree that people are trigger-happy these days, and way too many people own guns that shouldn't. Also, way too many people own dogs, that shouldn't.

If it were me, I would have pepper sprayed the dog.

But people aren't psychic. Many of us have been bitten or attacked by a dog - we don't know someone else's dog, and it's unfair to wait until it may be too late and until they make contact or come up to you. We can't predict what a strange, unknown, unrestrained dog is going to do. I'd take care of myself and loved ones first, over any dog.

I'm no fan of guns. I'm also no fan of unleashed dogs and selfish dog owners.
