"Dangerous and vicious dogs" are the one big downside of our neighborhood. Neither I nor any of our guests can take a nice stroll, or go jogging, or even a bike ride, in our 'hood (Nanawale). We've all been chased, threatened, and/or bitten. We've reported to police and Humane Society, and sometimes the owners restrain their dogs as a result. But for every dog reported, there always seem to be more. It's running the gauntlet every time we walk. We always take a stick if we dare to venture out. It sucks. Do other neighborhoods have this problem? It's not one often mentioned in the "downside" comments of living in Puna that we so often read here on Punaweb.
