Before I got my first Ibizan Hound, I had no fence, here.
Arthur and Merlin, the red Dobes, skidded to a halt at my property line.
[I have no idea how they knew where it was but they obviously did]
All the Dobes I owned at my childhood home had no fences and ran loose 24/7.
They never stepped over the line.
The people up the pike have a Collie who lays on their front porch and it’s not even 20 feet from RT 40.
I’ve never even seen it venture off the porch.
Some dogs just do that.
If a strange dog runs into my yard somehow, is it my dogs’ fault if they rush out to repel it?
That’s their job.
Should they be murdered for doing it?
They don’t know ‘cop dog’ from ‘intruder dog’.
You’d think cops would be smart enough to make an allowance.
Unfortunately, cops have convinced themselves, by and large, that the lives of a few peasant’s dogs are unworthy of their concern.
