For the majority of you who are posting here on this subject you must be careful. Hurting a local's dog is taking your life into your own hands. They may appear to you as just dogs tied up to their dog houses on the side of their owners property. Gettting neither love or attention. But do something to those dogs, or say something to their owners and then you run the risk of turning your new found paradise into a living hell!!
Now as far as dogs running loose. I have two thoughts on that. If you know where dogs are on the loose, avoid that area!!! Now what's so hard about that? To me that's the simple solution, and really the best way to go. Why start a confrontation?
I'm simply amazed with the new residents to Hawaii who are constantly whining about things they aren't use to. Keep in my folk, you are the guest of the aina here. How do you think the indigenous people feel? They could really complain, their whole world has been literally turned upside down! You think Puna is great & beautiful now, imagine it 30 years ago before all the mainland arrivals came! Think about all the "crap" that the indigenous people had to deal with. For the most part the local people have put up with all the nonsense that the new arrivals bring. With the exception of a few out burst here and there. It's pretty under control right now, but that could all change at the drop of a dime.
Bottomline:
Indigenous people have dogs. Dogs for hunting, and dogs for guarding one's property, and a lot of barking is what they do. If you don't like it. I suggest getting some ear plugs. But say something or do something to that Indigenous Family about their pet and you run the risk of turning your paradise into a living hell!
Life is truly to short to worry about dogs barking or frogs crocking!.........
