Yeah, I was thinking it looked like there might be some spitz in there.

“That dog goes right to the mailbox doing his business and doesn’t go out of that yard,” Abdul Akbar said. “The dog has a tendency when he sees another dog to want to play. Everybody knows that dog.”
Akbar said the yard is unfenced, but the dog doesn’t leave its boundaries. He said the owner let the dog out to use the bathroom, and then it was shot four times by police.
The driver who fled escaped and was still at large Wednesday afternoon.

Before I got my first Ibizan Hound, I had no fence, here.
Arthur and Merlin, the red Dobes, skidded to a halt at my property line.
[I have no idea how they knew where it was but they obviously did]
All the Dobes I owned at my childhood home had no fences and ran loose 24/7.
They never stepped over the line.
The people up the pike have a Collie who lays on their front porch and it’s not even 20 feet from RT 40.
I’ve never even seen it venture off the porch.
Some dogs just do that.
If a strange dog runs into my yard somehow, is it my dogs’ fault if they rush out to repel it?
That’s their job.
Should they be murdered for doing it?
They don’t know ‘cop dog’ from ‘intruder dog’.
You’d think cops would be smart enough to make an allowance.

Well there you go.
“Akbar said the yard is unfenced, but the dog doesn’t leave its boundaries”
This is like those who tell people their dog never bites. Then it does.
Or those parents that say “not my son”. Despite overwhelming evidence.
People, don’t totally trust your dogs. It’s nice, but just because he doesn’t most of the time doesn’t mean there will not be an exception.
