Feared for his life. End of story. He’s lucky to go home alive.
wannabe cop?
If he was a cop, no problem. Anyone else, well too bad.
I’ve read that umbrellas are effective in repelling dogs.
Hate animal abuse, but ankle biters are the worst. If one started gnawing on my ankle I would probably kick it. I do t know both sides of this but I might use something to persuade a dog to bark up another tree.
A neighbor use to let his big Shepard unleashed out in front of his house. This was in the 70s. I rode a motorcycle home, usually around 3 in the AM and that shep would rush me and bark growl etc while I tried to get down the block. One day the shep came straight at me and did not pull away as I passed. I locked my engineer booted leg straight out and knocked it for a loop at around 25mph. The dog ran away and never went after me again. Just had to get his attention.
you just can’t let your pets be around other people “doing their jobs”. not if you want them alive. it’s bad enough cops can be chasing a suspect and they come into YOUR yard and YOUR DOG is contained back there and they shoot the dog. it’s happened and worse has happened. and dead people can’t contest “officer safety” bs excuses.
until cops are personally liable and can lose pensions in judgment cases and go to jail, it’s only going to get worse.
Some one has to say it..............At least the meter reader went home safe and sound.
Since they constantly left the gate open before, utility people no longer allowed on my property without my permission. My utility meters are now behind a 5’5” locked gate.
If they try to climb over the fence they become potential intruders. Of course no meter reader will take the time to do that.
We had an 80 pound Red Coon Hound in the '60s. He taught the meter reader to let us know he needed to read the meter instead of just opening the back door and stepping into the laundry room to get access to the meter...
