ParticipantAn interesting thread is evident in many of the above posts. There seem to be two (at least) groups of posters as to dogs’ behavior and whether or not to be afraid of them. Some say leash your dog, keep it away from me and my kids, (or lawn, driveway, etc), control it, etc. Many in this group had a bad experience with a supposedly “gentle” dog.
The other group, primarily dog owners, say their dogs are friendly, gentle, loving, and could never hurt anyone, and never have hurt anyone, at least recently.

Put me into the first group.[/quote]I’ve never had a dog of mine bite anyone ever. I’ve never been bitten by anyone’s dog.
None of my friends have told me that they’ve been bitten by a dog.
Why should I be afraid of dogs?
That being said, I don’t like having dogs. The only reason we ever had one to begin with is the kids begged and begged me. And Guess Who ended up taking care of it.
We’re done with dogs, no more for us. But that doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy other people’s dogs. All the fun, none of the maintenance.

ParticipantI hate your dog too. Dude, Pits and Shepards and Rotts and Dobies SNAP. Pits the most. They are hardwired to bite and fight. Sure you see their happy side like all the in-denial PB owners — then one day they go “genetic” and you are in court or worse.
Your neighbors are not the problem; YOU and your damn dog are. Get rid of it.
