my friend has a dog. he loves the dog to death. and has done his absolute best to train it. but it's a * up dog. he does all he can to make sure the dog doesn't hurt anyone. he loves that dog. But the dog was raised by some ass holes for the first years of it's life and it's prone to lashing out at anyone it doesn't know making any kind of move. It's a big * dog too. Half Black Lab half German Shepard.
It is a handsome stoic dog, but it'll kill you.
anyway. to make the point… some dogs are really * up. but they are still dogs and still loved by their owners and shit happens. Car accidents happen. Broken arms happen. Sometimes, believe it or not, * up dogs get away from their owner.
I am not sure of the exact scenario, but it sounds like you were being a pretty solid asshole. As if the owner is not aware of whats going on.
Be angry. Exude intelligence. State facts. I know she **** up… make that clear to her… but don't cry like a baby and threaten to kill the dog with your yuppie ass golf club. that does nothign but make you look dumb and anger her. that's my two cents.
so I take it you support rehabilitation over the death penalty?
I'm all for rehabilitating humans but **** up dogs need to die IMO. A dogs life is not worth the safety of others.
Oh and BTW the lady told me it had been mere months since her dogs last attacked a cyclist and she had them both, off-leash 50 ft away from one of vancouvers busiest bike routes….if that isn't reckless, inconsiderate behaviour I don't know what is.
Some dog owners often remind me of self righteous cigarette smokers who just expect everyone to put up with their shit. It's like their love for their dog and their belief that their dog has the right(and not the privilege) to run free trumps others right to not be bitten.
