If you have a dog

[oink]

Hmmm, I have to say that the dog in the video posted by afwjam was not a shoot situation based on the dogs behavior at the time, as shown in the video.

I would have to say the dog in the video posted by TomK would have been very shootable, except for the environment. That freaked me out to the cop waving the gun all around in the middle of the street with people everywhere. What the hell was he thinking? Even if his bullet didn't hit someone directly it likely would have bounced off the pavement going who knows where. I hope someone pointed that out to him as a lesson afterward. I'm glad the other cop stepped in with the taser. That was my old home town area too. I used to live about 4 blocks from there.

By the way, pepper spray does not work nearly as well on dogs as it does on people, unfortunately. I've seen the strong stuff used on dogs. It does work somewhat but not like what you would hope for. I know it does work very well on me. I think it has something to do with tear ducts but I'm not sure.

Were I in TomK's situation I doubt TomK or afwjam would approve of my method of handling it. I do have sympathy for the dog but I consider myself more of a realist (you may disagree) and look for practical solutions. It seems his method is working, albeit painfully slow.

TomK is obviously not a Cesar Millan. Neither am I and I suspect few people are. People who do have that talent and expertise have my respect but a talent and expertise of anything approaching that level is, I suspect, rare. The rest of us have to just struggle along.

Edited, because I felt like it.
