I happen to like dogs and have two here at the house. My dogs are trained and well behaved so I don't intend to put up with anyone else dog acting up. If you love it, train it and control it. Otherwise don't be upset when I shoot it for attacking me. I can handle some chasing and growling but anything beyond that calls for self defense measures. I have been bitten by a dog when I didn't even know it was behind me and if it happens again there will retaliation.
