[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]

This happened to my former coworker.  She had her dog out on a walk when an unleashed dog ran up to them.  It was a noisy little terrier, all bark and no bite, but their dog saw it as a threat to its human and attacked the dog.  Her dog had to be put down since it had killed the other dog, not just hurt it.  [/quote]

What???

This happened to me years ago.  Both animal control and the police basically laughed at the other dog owners when they wanted my dog put down--she killed the other dog in one bite, not even a dog fight.  They said the other dog wasn't exempt from being leashed just because it was a 15 lb dog.

This wasn't around here, though.[/quote]
