Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

The fact that we run when chased only reinforces those notions.

So expecting different from dogs is pointless. It's their owners from whom we need to demand more care, and sadly sometimes the only thing that works are big bills and/or the real threat of having the dog destroyed. Warning, some owners aren't all that threatened by the destruction of their dog, they just get another one, so only something that threatens the owner himself works.
