I’m very sorry some **** did that.
Too bad his dog paid for his stupidity instead of him.
But, to be perfectly blunt, you really should’ve been the -smarter-, more responsible person and not “dropped the leash”.
Unless your dog had actually been physically attacked, you killed the guy’s dog just to “make a point”.
You are as guilty as he was, perhaps *more so* because you already had your dog on a leash, under control.
Frankly, I don’t know how you live with yourself.
I know I couldn’t do such a reprehensible thing to an ignorant animal whose only crime was to be owned by an irresponsible moron but then again, I don’t have to kill somebody’s dog to prove my dog’s “badder”.
Under the law, he would’ve gotten a citation for an uncontrolled dog while you’d have been charged with aggravated assault and probably had your dog taken away.
If I ever have the misfortune to run into someone like you, not only will my dog *not* be “ripped to shreds in under two minutes from the time they drop the leash”, the owner’s going to be in a world of hurt, too.
Bet on it.
Well said.
Well...I was about 10 years old at the time. His dog was taking bites at me and my dog, I was simply defending myself and my dog from an irresponsible dog owner. Continuing to hold the leash would have been like holding someone down so another can beat on them. I can live with myself just fine, it’s been many decades since that occurred and as an adult I would never own a pitbull or bull terrier. I have a sweet little 12 pound dog that knows to stay away from pitbulls. :)
