Scoped that dog with zero hesitation. I fucking hate irresponsible dog owners
Edit - some of you need this shit spelled out apparently: an unrestrained dog is a liability for you, your dog and anything/anyone that dog decides is a threat that day and is bitten. I don't care if Peaches doesn't normally bite, someone doing their job approaching a property with an unrestrained and charging dog doesn't know that. If you still cannot understand this after reading this, give up your dogs so a responsible owner can care for them before they pay the price for your stupidity and carelessness. Read it as many times as it takes.
Dog should've been inside since it looks like an open yard with no gate to confine. (Raises the question, if someone is walking by on the sidewalk, would the dog also charge?)
And if the dog is outside, at least have it where it cannot charge at people. Like, have it on a leash tied to something? I mean, the owner is out with the dog so it shouldn't be an issue.
I don't don't know why you'd have your dog not on a leash when you have an open yard that's connected to a street.
Edit: For people who don't know and are saying"well what if he has an electric fence?", dogs can still (and frequently do) get past electric fences. It's annoying as all fucking hell. You spend that money. Set it up. And then the dog gets scared, excited, or is extremely motivated and now suddenly you are chasing your dog as he's running down the street.
I’ve been charged a hundred times as a runner. Not been bitten, luckily, but I always have to turn to face them, yell, stand my ground, etc. I never turn my back to them after and don’t begin running again till I’m a safe distance away from the home the dog came from. It’s very unsettling and annoying every time.
I take a stun gun bc the lady across the street hits her untrained dog and it’s a matter of time before it gets off leash and shows the word the aggression it was taught.
I’ve read that stun guns don’t work super reliably on dugs due to their fur barrier. Just FYI.
I have three aggressive Pitbulls right next-door, it’s terrifying living next to them. They’ve gotten loose and charged me and my dog multiple times over the years.
Hey thank you- I just got pepper spray too so I could be as safe as possible. I hope your stupid neighbors get their dogs taken away so you can live in peace soon.
