Dog lovers are generally totally blind to anything that their animals do that annoy or injure other people.

As if you know enough about the 66.5 million homes with dogs to make such a statement.

All you have told us is the people you know + the people in the news (like the folks and dogs in this story you are commenting on) might be “generally totally blind”, whatever that means.

Remember, it’s only the sensational that makes the news, so those of us with a couple of dogs just living our lives (the far away majority of dog owners) are entirely invisible to you and the media.

I’m a little surprised you continue to fall for it.

And let’s also address the statement annoy or injure. Two entirely different things.

Annoyance is your problem.

The injury part is on me if my dog is responsible.

Dog lovers are generally totally blind to anything that their animals do that annoy or injure other people.

With the exception of defending one of the family against an assailant, 'bite one and done' is the rule.

Annoyance is your problem.

Now you're showing your true colors. Most counties have Nuisance Dog ordinances that cover excessive barking, dogs roaming loose, tipping over trash etc. It's the dog owners problem.

If I put in a hog pen upwind of your house and you didn't like the smell it would be your problem right?
