Fagin said:turning around was a great reason to be torn up. nope.
all of the times I have been attacked it was from the rear and didn't know there was a dog there. no threat was invoked by me. no harrassment of a dog, no showing them fear because I didn't know they were there. the ones I did and came at me I was able to either get out of harms way, mace (and worse) or shoot them.
dogs are fine to eat. they don't taste that bad when prepared.
in my opinion, the only good dog is a dead dog.
who knows with dogs though - ours when I was growing up would growl just if you walked by, but she protected me and my family. Unfortunately some people have turned them into killers, or attackers (i.e. pit bulls) and in turn have made society think all pit bulls are bad, which isn't the case. Personally I think it is wrong of those cities that have done so already, making certain breeds illegal to own/possess. Oh well, to each their own
