Tom its ok. Aloha I am actually comforted to know I don't fit in the group. I am glad to know the dog is not abused. I hope since the dog does know love, you find a way to share it with the dog, hopefully finding your life more peaceful. I am glad no infants have been killed by this vicious dog. Sorry you are fearful in your own yard, I would not put up with that.

It's almost a full moon, pog. Being a scientist I can explain to you why there is no such thing as the full moon effect (lunatics), but I'm starting to have some doubts now...

Humans, who know love, getting attacked by by dogs, who also know love. No problem there, its all good now.

One or two people here wouldn't call this an attack because there was no flesh torn or blood. Well, I wonder what others think. The way the dog attacks in this video is very similar to the neighbour's dog. I call this an attack. Maybe I'm wrong.

lol I can't fix the lost love between Tom and the dog. I know that the dog and I would be best friends in five minutes, like I said I would not put up with what Tom is. The law is the law right? Call the police they will fix all your problems.

Why don't you post the actual video that you have? Glad to see a situation where the cop did not shoot the dog for fun, those are rare. Usually its more like this:

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.

You mean a fully restrained dog, wagging its tail should not be shot in the head? I am happy to hear you say this.

How about these?

When law enforcement is around my house I put Hank in a kennel in the closet. Two of my friends innocent dogs have been shot by the police. One of my friends was shot in the leg when the officer jumped his backyard fence and unloaded his glock magazine at his dog and backyard BBQ, he then refused to put the dog down as it would be an inappropriate use of his firearm.
