many years ago my kids and i were walking past a house. The dog broke off the rope and chased us down. Bit my kid on her rump.
Owner said “it was because you ran” when we saw the dog charge us. No, you have a mean dog.
It was base housing, and the young couple could not produce any shot records, so MP’s took the dog away.
When I was a Lieutenant living on base the homes across the street were for Field Grade officers. A real snotty Major, B-52 Navigator, went on leave and left his two mean Rottweilers in his garage. My neighbors and I were sitting outside on a beautiful summer day and watched those two dogs chew through the fiberglass garage door. We called the LE desk and they responded just before the hole was big enough for those two mean dogs to get loose.
