In 17 years as cop, only once did I ever go for my weapon. It was a Doberman, I was invited into the fenced in back yard to speak at the owner and his wife let the puppy out the back door. I WOULD have the doggie, but the owner called him off. This was not a Lab or a Sheltie, etc. etc. I have a pit bull next door that likes to watch Judge Joe with my girlfriend. Used to piss her off but now,she say’s Lilly will be here in a minute. Neighbor gets pissed.
Would have shot (sorry)
