This one is, and its owners know that, and they still let it get away from them.

Can you keep a can of mace or pepper spray by your back door in case he gets into your yard again? Or just the hose on full blast ought to help!

Well, problem with having anything like that is the brothers - probably they wouldn't use it on each other, but they're little and boys and occasionally really stupid. Plus we have a really big yard. Hose won't reach most of it. We're just lucky it was the weekend and Dad was around to help - he got the evil dog off ours, I got our dog inside, had the brothers get in quickly - but if we'd owned a gun that other dog would be dead.
