I love my dog. he is almost human, but he is a dog.
When I was a young man I was walking down the beach with two co-workers, we were not in beach clothes.
I don't believe in less than lethal forms of defence....to many things can go wrong.
Me or mine threatened by a dog...any dog....Dead Dog.

You obviously don't know anything about dogs or beaches or girls....
Just kidding!!!!:lol:
That's the way someone responded to me damn I DO feel jumped on, never felt that way here before, many other forums but never here. So I will say what I have to say and won't be back to this thread.:what:
In reverse order, Yes I read the original post, I was not responding to that one, just to the other people who like me were empty handed when their confrontation happened. And before you ask, I was not jumping on them, notice I also was empty handed.
OK, I will try the bribery with this dog, as I said, the people there are very nice and go to my Church so I would hate to have any type of incident with their dog. Good Idea, thanks.
Bear,
You do
NOT know me, so if you have something to say to me, either pepper it with a little bit of kindness or kindly address your comments elswhere. For twelve years, I walked thru people's yards almost every day and I have yet to be bit, and I have yet to have to use my spray. ON one occasion I had my finger on the trigger and starting to depress (pepper spray) and the owner came running outside and got between me and the dog. Every other incident I have handled without the use of a defensive weapon. I know all about the fear biter, the agressive biter and the sneaky ones that you really have to watch out for that don't even bark. And it didn't come from a tv show, but from real life. I actually did think about wether or not to make the comments that I did in my previous post in case something did happen with this dog, but mostly I avoid that area of the neighborhood now, if I do have to spray or shoot the dog, I have no doubt that I will be justified in doing so I didn't make it 12 years in the Army, and 12 years in my profession by being impulsive.
Mostly I thought I could contribute to the conversation and maybee get some other perspectives. For me this conversation is over.
