Ear splitting horn for dog protection?

Unfortunately, what may cause one dog to run for cover might provoke an attack by another. And of course, it is the thoughtless and sometimes down right inconsiderate owners' fault, not the dogs. You might want to try complaining to the appropriate authorities about this, pointing out the danger, especially to "the children" (think of the children). Ben I totally reject the argument that it's not the dog's fault. That dog is making a decision to attack and to bite. It's his brain and his teeth, after all. Sure, the owner is an idiot, but when I see this sort of argument, the next line is always "don't hurt the poor doggie!" or "don't make the poor puppy suffer from the actions of a thoughtless owner." No. It's the dog who bites and that's the one from whom I need protection. Pat in TX Chasing moving objects and biting are well known qualities of dog behavior. Dog bites man is not news. When its instincts are stimulated a dog is driven by ancestral behaviors not anything close to thoughtful decision making process. When an owner lets his dog off leash he is greatly increasing the chances of an undesirable outcome, much like leaving 6 year olds to play unsupervised in a kitchen. Ben |
