I was on this one section last fall in NB were I was attacked by a dog every 1/4 mile, roughly every third farm. After a while it's like a discussion about dandelion control. Of course they should be lovingly hand removed, composted, and the dark soil spread on the garden etc... But somewhere around the 20 th attack that day you just want a gun.

Of course after the first shooting you would be spending the rest of the day explaining why you were skulking around the neighbourhood shooting people's pets, no good answer really.

Another thing I notice is that a lot of these dogs do not even twitch when a car goes by. Apparently that has been trained out of them one way or another. The good old days of chasing cars and occasionally being run over appear gone. Bikes, what fun!
