Irresponsible dog owner should be charged with negligent homicide at the least seeing as there were two previous biting incidents.

Once a dog has bitten a person in an unprovoked attack that dog should be put down as a proven danger to all.

Of course I also think the same about humans who murder.

No repeat offenders.

I sincerely hope the relatives of the dead man sue the dogs’ owner and win .

I always jog with either a stun gun or .38 revolver.

Running and dogs often are a bad combination.

Metamora and Livonia are over an HOUR apart from each other.

Something’s goofy here...

One added point. There is a general list of about 10 different breeds of dogs that insurance companies look long and hard at, Mastiffs are among those breeds. If this guy had home owner’s insurance and this company knew about the dog, they are going to have to pay out whatever maximum that policy holds, plus the owner may be civilly liable for much more after any possible court action, not to mention posible criminal negligence.

always carry while taking a walk.

I have been chased by two Dobermans, an Irish Setter, two peekanese (sp?) and a Great Dane.

Of course if the police had responded to this incident some here would have wanted them to reason with the dogs rather than take definitive action to prevent injury to humans.

Professional breeders have been very careful with the breeding of these large animals, so that aggressiveness and jealousy are kept to a minimum. Hopefully, this is an anomaly. OTOH, dogs will behave differently when in groups.
