Racer - Yes, true...even if you think you are not at fault because "its an animal", you…Read More must be held accountable for the negligence. I was as I faced a stringent internal affairs investigation followed by a department reprimand.

Animals owners absolutely must be held responsible to the actions of their pets ... no exceptions!…Read More Our gentle "mutt" was attacked twice by the same aggressive dog while we walked him on a leash while the other dog was allowed to run free. I'm sorry: there's just no excuse for that! Negligence like this must have consequences for the owner.

My worst nightmare!!! I often have my son's little dog over and love to take him for walks thru our…Read More Birmingham neighborhood. Almost EVERY TIME I do this another dog runs after him. I've had dogs run out of front doors, across the street, jerk the leash out of their owners hand, run out of a garage, etc etc. I try to stay aware of loose dogs, leashed dogs, etc that are walking on the same block...but I really can't tell you how many times I've heard, "OMG, I'm so sorry!" Seriously scares the hell out of me and the dog! I swoop him up and don't really know why I haven't been bit in the face yet. I had a police friend of mine tell me that she tells her friends to carry Raid Wasp Spray. It sprays out in a 20-25 foot straight stream. And it burns like heck. LOL! I forgot to ask her if I could be arrested for spraying that on a dog. Until then, I only go when my husband can go with me. So sad....
