The vast majority of dog owners fail to keep their animals properly restrained.
To make matters worse, many (if not most) jurisdictions have “the first bite is free” rule, as if the owner of any guard or watchdog breed animal has no reason to believe the big, snarling dog he keeps to scare off burglars might actually be dangerous it at large.
In our county you can go to jail if your animal, attacks someone off your property. Doesn’t have to be a dog, could be a bull or horse.............
