Boxer Insane
I am so frustrated with people in my neighborhood leaving their dogs loose and unattended. It would be somewhat tolerable if the dogs were friendly, but we have been attacked twice by dogs that were not very friendly and have avoided some other close calls.
Today, I felt bad for Hannah because she is feeling better and has lots of energy. She is not allowed to play with her brother Samson for three weeks, so I decided to take her for a long walk in my neighborhood. I made it halfway around the loop I usually take, and a huge lab came charging at us and was growling. I yelled at him several times, which seemed to make him think twice and allowed me to quickly walk away with Hannah. I was thankful to be able to get Hannah back to the house without any injuries. I spent the next hour just playing fetch with her in my backyard.
Does anyone else have problems walking their dogs because of other dogs that are loose?
I just needed to vent. My dogs love going for walks, but I am always afraid of what I might run into. Is there anything I should carry with me that might help if an aggressive dog comes after us? Why can't people be more responsible with their animals?
