There was a story on here a few days ago about a retired military dog that got loose and was shot while chasing a man on a bicycle.
Lots of people defended the dog and thought the biker over reacted. I wonder if they’ll show up on this thread?
If you love your dog, you keep it secure. If the dog gets shot or hurt, that’s your problem. The average person walking down the street doesn’t know *your* dog and it’s not their job to assume the best.
I think a reasonable person would know when the threshold has been crossed and it’s time to put someone’s dog down. I don’t know anyone that would do such a thing without careful consideration of the situation.
