Well, it finally happened. During a conversation between my wife and her sister, the subject of firearm carry came up. Her sister's husband and my wife both carry, and she told her sister that she doesn't just carry for human issues. While walking former and current dogs, my wife has been attacked, along with our dog, by out of control dogs. Our former lab had to get stitches in his neck due to a pit bull attack. We were attacked, along with our dog, in the neighborhood we live in now. We also have an issue with some people up nort, who like to let their pit bull's roam a bit. I've already expressed my feelings about that to those particular neighbors, and told them that if their dogs ever attack my wife, my dog, or myself, they will be picking them up out of the middle of the road with a bullet in their head. Well, sis is out walking in her neighborhood and is attacked out on the road, being bit in the arse and in the hand. Enough to draw blood. Now she is shaken, and has a bit of in trepidation about walking in that neighborhood again. She was screaming for the owner to get the dogs off of her. The neighbor called and the dogs hesitated, then moved in. I told her, if it would have been me or my wife, both dogs would be dead. I've heard the statement, " Oh my dogs wouldn't hurt anyone." Or, " They listen to me ". Bologna. We told her that she should take pictures of her injuries, go to a doctor and get documentation/treatment, and then sue the $#!T out of the owners. Otherwise, this may happen again. Small kids wouldn't have had a chance, and that's what her sister was most concerned about. I told her that it never stops until you hit them in the pocketbook. I've seen these situations too many times before. The dogs that attacked us on one of the occasions, the owners had been ticketed for loose dogs 110 times. Her sister called the sheriff, and I guess where they are, it's up to their discretion as to what kind of penalty is enforced. He said probably a roaming dogs ticket. I say not enough. When humans in the area are in danger of being attacked in their own neighborhood, it has to be a bit stronger message. In mine, or my wife's case, tickets and or quarantines wouldn't be necessary. They would just have to get rid of the carcasses. I am a dog owner, lover, and wouldn't hurt a dog for any reason..............except for this.
