My best friend growing up had one and I hated it. I'd go over there swimming and that mean dog was always jumping on me. I was just a little girl at the time and I always cringed walking up that driveway and seeing that psycho dog.
"Irish setters are evil dogs."
You got that right. When I was 8 or 9 years old a neighbor's Irish Setter was running loose when I was walking home from school on day. The thing tackled and humped me 1/2 way down the block. I'd push it away go another 5 steps and it'd tackle and hump me again. I had to climb a tree to get away from it.
