"if any stray dog enters my property barking and acting wily, I will for sure take out the mutt"

Are you really so cowardly that you couldn't go out and get a stray barking dog outta your yard without killing it first?! Man, I sure hope my baseball never lands in your yard.....

Dude, not cowardly at all.....I call it practical, being bit in that exact situation you describe as a young man.....heck, a stray would not leave my yard last summer, but did eventually with the help of a pellet gun.

Never trust a dog you do not know......
