As in most threads, especially ones with very strong language in the title, we sometimes don't read everything in the thread.
And when it comes to dogs, all threads bring out our hidden or not so hidden feelings about them.
Most people who own dogs here, have been dog owners a long time and it is my experience that most dogs here are well trained...sometimes the owners could use a little more training in self responsibility in picking up after them, but the dogs I have met have been gentle and people friendly.
The dogs I have met out walking, always love a pat and an itch behind the ear after the owner gives their approval. I don't own a dog but I just love them. It is hard for me to understand why people who don't like them at all feel that way.
I am shocked by the comment about the gun. To me it shows terrible inappropriate fear.
I am sure that people have been bitten and other dogs assuredly have been bitten in dog parks here, but judging from this forum with people who have their nose to the ground and their fingers to the keys, it does not appear to be common at all, or we would have heard about it here.
