I tread all dog owners with suspicion and awareness. Beware the lady with
her yappy mutt! Beware the guy with his 3 unleashed "greyhounds" ( they are
total chasers). Certainly beware the humans who totally disregard any
"friendly -- not so friendly -- hey have you heard my horn " with a dog
foraging god knows where
One of my worst experiences was somewhere on the Rhein last year with a man
with a totally uncontrollable pup who nipped my heels and rabbitied me for
about 50 meters. It wasn't until I stopped, got off. and picked the mutt up
and made to thrown the beast into the Rhein about 1 metre away that the man
deigned to understand my very fluent German.
my firm opinion with dog is that if I am bitten my instant retaliation may
be fatal for the dog.
Most of them are dirty, sh*t spreading , evil smelling, flea carrying.
wolves in miniature
But above all -- beware the lady who keeps saying "He wouldn't hurt a fly"
as the mutt has his teeth in your ankle.
Stamp on its head! ( Now I shall be flamed! )
I totally object to being ****** on, sniffed at, leaped up at, licked at, by
"friendly dogs" they are dirty smelly and disease caring creatures.
