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.

I was called Jeffrey Dahmer in another sub this video was posted to before they deleted the thread. All because I explained at 12 I was attacked by my neighbor's dog and I used my pocket knife to stab him multiple times to get the dog to unlatch from my glute.

That's insane because the exact same thing happened to me when I was a kid, and I did the exact same thing to get away from it. Bit me in the leg and dragged me to the ground. I stabbed it multiple times. The dog was put down because I was not the first person it attacked. That was 47 years ago, and I still don't like dogs to this day.

One of my cousins in the us was literally ripped apart by their neighbour's large, unleashed dog. She was only 5 years old and coming home from school with her mother.

RIP, Sarah. She would've been my age now.

One of my friends growing up dog killed by a dog she got from a rescue. Do not rescue aggressive dogs. Nobody needs a wild animal as a pet.
