I actually hate dogs myself as well and you aren’t alone. I agree that the owners are even worst since like a kid, a dog is a dog and will act stupid, kids, you expect to act a bit better. I gotta say I hate owners who “think” their dog can be off leash, but their dogs are always running at me or across the street and I can’t be happier if they got ran over.
Some dogs are super mellow and are very well trained and behaved, but I think the majority are just annoying and is a 20k/ (just checked) 30k lawsuit waiting to happen.
Nearly 30k per claim avg and you can bet your insurance company will DUMP YOU after you get sued and they pay out.
Good luck trying to get coverage for your larger dog (if you have one of those) afterwards…
Also read some states like NY, a minor can still sue you years after till they are 18 if there is scarring.
For the few people who have super well trained dogs who never misbehave and can be controlled and listen to directions, great! For the 99% others, keep them on a leash!
