Don't you think the homeowner, should have had a collar on the dog to try to control him. I don't like big dogs of that make up, running and jumping on me.

Just because you don't like dogs doing that doesn't mean you can go to your neighbor's house and shoot his dog when it runs up and wants to lick your face. It doesn't matter if the dog wasn't under the man's control at every second. The story makes it clear the dog was in the house and ran past the man to greet the visitor, who killed it. The dog probably did have a collar on, but the whole thing happened so fast that the owner had no time to grab it before Barney Fife started blasting in all directions.

Then stay out of his yard.

Stay out of my yard too, BTW. My dog doesn't have a line on him, although we do have an "underground fence". But, since you wouldn't know that just by looking at the dog, you might assume he's "running loose", and take it as license to shoot him if you don't like the way he looks at you.

That would not be good, for a variety of reasons.

It seems that there's no shortage of people who are glad to tell others how to live their own lives on their own property.
