They appear on these threads sometimes; simple browsing of the warondogs keyword will turn up several that have impacted freepers. Salamander comes to mind as someone who has personally literally feared for the life of her dog(s?) from police.
(Salamander: I don’t recall if one or multiple dogs was involved in that instance. Don’t sic the disapproving doberman on me if I’m wrong, please!)
However, I can’t recall a single anecdote, even among Freepers, of an incident from more than 10 years ago.
The anecdotes which suggest a recent increase in the problem are certainly present.
Where are the anecdotes which establish this was a problem 20, 30, 40 or 50 years ago?

Actually Cops did shoot Dogs in those days, they were called to do just that.
Rabid Dogs that were threatening people, Rabies is very Rare in Dogs these days, not so much in years past.
