Unleashed dogs

[the hare]

well i must say there is a lot of bad advise on this topic. ...carrying mace, shovel, big stick...I cannot walk to the park anymore because of loose , charging pit bulls on our street (dead end) so lets say i clock this pit bull with a shovel,,,do you really think that will be the end of that??dogs like that , like it or not are a reality in Puna,, adapt, change routine, drive to a safer walking area, if you are very frightened of dogs, and like to go walking, you are going to have problems in Puna..no doubt.... and to say any dog, with tooth contact should be put down is just wrong, ..I have a large well trained dog, i work very hard to have her not be part of the problem, but if something bizzre happened and you wanted to do that to my dog,, well you would have a problem
