Awwwww, niggler, please.
Due to some of the poster's usage and phrasing, I suspect she's not using American English, and therefore, misspelt is not incorrect.
Misspelled is the past tense of misspell (he misspelled the word)
Misspelt is an adjective (the word was misspelt)
When speaking English English, anyway.
Yayyyyyyyy CORRECT put that in your pipe an smoke it BOOM now don't you feel silly hahahaha0 -

I have an unleashed animal in my pants. Feel free to tame it.
Gonna see a pic of it with an airsoft wound on here soon? LOL!
Airsoft eh? Well aren't you a kinky one 0 -
I would never shoot a dog but I would definitely spray the dog if it left their property and attacked me or my dog.0

Some of you people are way off base. No matter where you live, you are responsible for your property. Pets are considered property. The public streets, (includes county rural roads) are owned by the public. If I run over your dog in front of your property, on a public road, and it damage my vehicle, youre gonna be responsible for the repair.
And if your dog craps in my yard, you will be picking it up.
If your animals pose a threat, and you dont control them, I will. There are consequences for irresponsible behavior.0 -

If someone has a dog in town they need to be a responsible pet owner and either watch their dog or have a fenced in yard. I see dogs running loose in our neighborhood all the time and it ticks me off because they can get hit or taken so fast. If you can't be responsible then don't have a pet.0

I love dogs...I hate when I am running and someone at the park has their dog off the leash. I almost stepped on an ankle biter and had a lab growl at me once. Be responsible...I won't run in the no leash area...please don't let your dogs run off leash in my area. And my running area includes the sidewalk in front of your house. I pay for it too.
Granted the town I live in only enforces the leash law when there is a complaint. And until I get bitten there will not be a complaint from me. I love dogs. But it is annoying when you are in your zone and a lab comes out of no where wanting to play.
And to those who say, "My front yard - you shouldn't be walking here." (Which has never happened in my lil tiny town) That sidewalk is city property. Get over yourself. Those sidewalks aren't just for you. Keep em clear of snow, clear of obstructions, and clear of your pets.0 -
I've read far too many cases of dogs attacking people, kids being mulled to death, infections from bites, etc. Want to know why those situations got so bad? The people tried to respectfully remove the dog. I love animals, more than most humans in fact. But if a dog seriously attacks me or someone I know (I don't mean just barking or nipping, but full fledged attack), there is no "lets dance", it's neck-snap game over. I don't want to do that, but it's my safety or theirs. If a pet owner doesn't like the way that sounds, they should be a responsible owner instead of letting their dog roam free.0

People should learn to read a dog's body language to see if it's trying to play with you or if it is aggressive. You'll find that it's 99.99% playing.
So many people in this thread are saying just to shoot or pepperspray the dogs. What the hell? Educate yourself.
In the countryside it is perfectly normal to have the animals roaming free. In my village they even have herds of cows roaming free. If you don't like it, go back to the city.
The dog that attacked my dog came up from behind! Please advise how I was supposed to read body language? When it has it mouth wrapped around my dog's hind legs?
What's wrong with being responsible dog owners? Leash your dogs unless they are on your property. Even then if I am on the 'public' side walk and your dog comes charging, I'm defending myself how I see fit.
That's not what I meant. If a dog tries to attack you, by all means, do what you have to to defend yourself.
But people threatening to shoot a dog that just wants to play really bugs me.
People who have aggressive dogs should keep them on a leash. However, there are plenty of people who have trained their dogs properly and they know it is safe to have them off a leash.0 -

So in a lineup, how do you pick the aggressive dog vs the playful dog? Exactly! You don't know till it's too late. If your dog wants to play, then you play with it on the leash and introduce it to people who will play back. Don't have it chasing strangers because they don't know your dog from a hole in the wall.0 -

Good luck trying to break a dogs neck. Instead grab it by the neck and push the dog to the ground. Safest way to stop a dog that's trying to attack you.0 -

I guess we should take dog defense classes before we run or walk. This is just too much. None of this would be necessary if some dog owners would get a clue.0 -

I'm just saying. If it does happen, that's what to do. I learned it from my sister who is a vet and sometimes has to deal with rabid street dogs that the rspca brings in.0 -
All of this is why I like going to the gym to jog....and my gym has a track, so I can vary between a flat track or a treadmill with random hills.
Our neighbor's big dog used to leave human-sized poop on our yard--really annoying when my kids were toddlers.0 -

1) I assume any pet owner that lets their animal roam pubic property freely is either a complete idiot or a bad owner.
2) I don't need luck to snap a neck.
3)Some dogs are far too large for their owners, let alone the people that get attacked by them. If a girl or guy for that matter thinks she is in danger and has a gun because she can't snap the neck by hand, she is fine by me to use it.
4) Pushing a dog to the ground only works if I am able to stay there and hold it down until someone comes and takes over. If there is an injured victim or if I see no help around, am I going to push it down and wait for it to get back up and attack me? Hell no. Do you tell girls that get attacked by guys to just "push him away once and he'll stop." I mean, seriously? I tell my gf if she gets attacked by a guy to just kill his *kitten* and I make sure she is educated and equipped to do so. It makes the world a safer place. Trying to be gentle just gets you injured further. You are making excuses for the people creating the problem and trying to tell the future victims how to curb their behaviors to avoid harm. You're an idiot.0 -

so what about a dog like mine who does not always do well with other dogs? I don't want other peoples uncontrolled dog running up to us, it is a danger to me, my dog and that other dog! my dogs are always leashed or tied up and soon will be fenced in.0 -
I hear you! Try working an afternoon shift and traveling 40 min to get home (around 12:30 am pure darkness) and the neighbors have 2 'PIT BULLS' unleashed growling at you.... !!! The other neighbors on the other side have 2 big dogs also.....I have to carry pepper spray and or bear spray with me at all times when I get out of the car... PLUS in Michigan there is a 'leash law' for all dogs! I really don't mind dogs, but when they threaten me, it is another story.... I hate being the neighbor that *complains*, but really......leash up those DOGS !!!
*side note* I was bite as a child (7 yrs old) by a dog when I was riding my bike, hence my slight fear of dogs in general~0 -
I have absolutely no problem with animals. I was raised on a farm. I've faced charging bulls, coyotes, wolves and even bears without flinching.
However, there is NOTHING more distracting and frustrating then being chased by an animal that is off it's leash while IN town.
I have been chased TWICE. The one time I kept the dog in firm line with nothing more than my voice. The owner NEVER showed up. The second time the owner showed up after the dog chased me all the way down a hill. The owner was NOT happy with their pet and quite frankly I never once thought: Bad owner.
Still. If you cannot control your pet or if it is prone to chasing people it should NOT be off leash in public. If, however, it managed to get away despite your best efforts to control it that's understandable.
Sometimes I think irresponsible pet owners should get chased by a waist high animal some time. They might change their tune. And while I was not harmed and was not terrified by the chases that I was subjected to it was still stressful and not at all something I want to happen every time I try to go for a run.0 -

I don't care if your dog is on your property. If you don't have a fence, the dog needs to be on a leash of some sort to keep it on the property. Verbal commands do not always work. We're talking about an animal and sometimes animal instinct takes over. I don't care if you believe your dog wouldn't hurt a fly. I've known many "harmless" dogs that instinctively nip at a child for touching them in the wrong spot or something.
If I am walking by with my child or pet and your dog runs at us to say "hello", I will do whatever is necessary to defend myself, my child, and my pet. I don't know your dog.
Also, you don't know my dog and if your dog runs up to us and my dog attacks, it is your fault for letting your dog run up on us.
This really shouldn't need to be explained...0 -

The dog that attacked my dog was a 'friendly' dog who did not have an aggressive bone in his body according to the owner. There are leash laws for a reason and if I can follow it with my dog why can't other people? My dog is super friendly and gets along with most other dogs. She will always be leashed!
Everyone thinks it will never be their dog UNTIL the dog attacks! So therefore I must be the one responsible for other people's unleashed dog? I have to become the Dog Whisperer now? Not just for my dog but ones I don't even own? No thank you.
I would love my day in court if I have to defend myself or my dog by any means necessary because of an unleashed dog. After what we went through and visions of me having to bury my dog. Hell. No. I grew up with dogs (small, medium and large) and they were ALWAYS leashed in public places because of safety and peace of mind.0 -
I carry mace for that reason. I haven't had to use it yet, usually shouting at the dog has made it run away, but if your loose dog tries to attack me it will be maced.0

There was a dog at my apartment complex that the owner often let out without a leash. It would always be jumping up on people and their kids while they walked to their cars and you could tell people did not like it and were scared of it. The lady would always say "oh, he is just saying hi, he is friendly" This was a large boxer mix dog. We live in a nice apartment and you have to register your dog with the office and get it approved and pay extra, and dogs must be leashed at all times. Later I found out the dog was unregistered and she wasn't allowed to have it.
Well, one time I took my cat outside to this forested/grass area on a leash and harness because he likes to be outside every now and then in the grass. It was a pretty secluded area. Well, right at that time the dog owner decided to let her dog out without a leash and it ran straight at me and my cat and started attacking both of us. I got mauled and bitten badly, and my cat went crazy on the dog and scratched its face open, blood everywhere. Even with all the scratches the dog still would not let up and was trying to bite my cat. I was trying to get it away and got bit in the process. My cat was miraculously unharmed, thank God.
The owner of the dog was a small lady and she could not do anything to constrain her dog, just stood there in shock watching the attack while I yelled at her to get a leash and get the dog away. I finally was able to kick the dog away and run for the door of my apartment building and slam it shut. I was laying there on the floor with blood running down my arms and hands and the lady didn't even check to see if I was okay! She took the dog and disappeared in to her apartment building.
Well, about an hour later she ended up having a heart attack or something because I saw out my window an ambulance pull up and she was taken away on a stretcher. She was not even close to the attack so I know she wasn't hurt during that. I ended up going to the hospital for infected bites and scratches and had to pay like $200 in hospital bills. I don't know what happened to the dog, but I have never seen it or the lady again. No idea what happened to either of them.0 -

I had my dog in the yard playing fetch when a walker with a dog came by this morning. My dog is young (thus dumb), and ran to greet them before I realized they were there. The walker started hitting him with a walking stick and then said, "You should have that damn dog on a leash." To which I replied, "We're outside playing fetch our yard. He lives here, you don't, and he's not left outside unsupervised. Call the cops or don't walk here anymore."
THE END.
Was the walker in your yard or the sidewalk/street? A coworker of mine use to let her puppy play in the yard, until he got hit by a car and died. She doesn't do that with her new dogs any more.
They were walking in the middle of the street (my street dead ends into a park; however, there's no access to the park via my street). Normally he's not allowed in the front yard because it's not fenced, but I was trying to get some plants in the ground before work along the walkway. My neighborhood is really tight-knit, we all know each other, our dogs all play together etc., so it wasn't unreasonable for Hugo to think his behavior was acceptable. It wasn't acceptable behavior on his part, and I quickly recalled him.
Wait, in the first quote you were playing fetch, then in the second quote you were gardening?
... sounds fishy.
I throw the ball, dogs run after ball. While dog runs, I dig holes. Dog drops ball, I pick it up and throw. While dog runs, I plop flowers in the holes and fill in dirt. Water and repeat.
