There's a guy in town selling bullmastiff pups, and at this point the idea is starting to have it's appeal. :shifty :lol Wonder if they make a labrador flavored puppy chow?
I run every night. Last night, I was charged by a labrador. His owner was in his front yard, dog came onto the sidewalk. I screamed, owner yelled, dog stopped at the last second. Owner proceeded to tell me how a labrador would never hurt anybody. Right. Except yes theydo,and he just seriously considered it.
Tonight, it was a loose, unsupervised pitt bull with a broken gate to his yard.
I called the police and they see no harm.
This is my street. I walk with DS often and alone.
Mind, I have owned many dogs. A labrador, and a pair of half pitt brothers, among them. I know the difference between "Hey, get away from my yard, shoo" and a tail erect, ears up, hair bristling charge.
Pepper spray is going with me from now on, but is there any other option I should consider?
One thing I miss about TX, animal control didn't mess around with nasty loose dogs.
