The dangers of dangerous dogs are all too familiar to my neighborhood, lower end HPP/Makuu.
A few years ago, a healthy 35 year-old woman was attacked and mauled in the street on 2nd, within sight of her own home.
Ten days later, the same dogs attacked another person.
About a month later, she died due to liver failure -- dog bites are extremely nasty.
Just two weeks ago, at the house of our immediate next-door neighbor, a visitor -- female and not very fit -- went outside and tripped over a stone, falling to the ground. Our neighbor's dog attacked and shredded her hands and arms before the owner could pull it off. She left in an ambulance.
Brown spiders? You only got to be able to see them before they bite you and get out of the way. That doesn't protect you from attacks by dogs, especially after they have the taste of blood...
Dangerous / viscous dogs are a very serious issue in rural Puna.
