Your right is not to over-react like some nancy-boy and shoot it.

A barking dog is different than an attacking dog.

I've lived a long time and have had many barking dogs come right up to me and I've never been bit.

Perhaps people like you should just stay home where it is safe.

Yes, and the officer apparently thought it was an “attacking” dog.

Then you’re long overdue to be mauled to death by a vicious pack of feral Chihuahuas.

I’ve heard (can anyone verify?) that dogs who bite most frequently don’t bark. That was the case when my then 13-year-old daughter stopped to pet a large dog staked out in the yard. After a trip to the emergency room, it was not a serious bite. The dog and his owner were banned from post housing.
