Instead of a boxer, these folks had a 1000 lb. grizzly bear.
In this situation, where shooting the bear might just make him angry, what would the proper procedure be?
I'm gonna guess it would be to slowly back away in a nonthreatening way to a safe distance & call for assistance, either from the owner of a bear or from headquarters.
Why can't this be standard procedure for dealing with dogs when the police call is for a minor disturbance or other nonviolent situation?
Because the point is to shoot the dog or someone else. It is all training. In just a few years, maybe much sooner, we will all be asking ourselves and each other,"Why didn't we get out when we still could?"
Imagine that instead of domesticating dogs, man had domesticated grizzly bears.

Perhaps I’ll soon regret posting this seriously tongue in cheek response, but there is a population of freepers who believe that man domesticated dinosaurs (it’s a display at the Creation Museum).
Imagine if this house had a domesticated tyrannosaurus in the yard.

Testosterone poisoning.
Imagine what his cohorts would say if they found out he’d ‘gone wussy’ for a dog.
He can’t have that.
