Railcruiser Let me begin that i am only afraid of 4 types of dogs alive-dead big-small Let me also say that without exception I always have my pet Daring the anole on a leash when we go for a walk.
As to the sheriff response I question his understanding of the law. A person can be charged with assault and battery simply by an increase in vocal volume and placing his/her hand on another's person's body. The owner of that dog committed at least battery because the owner's weapon was that dog.
I am afraid of strange dogs because as a kid I had one attack me without provocation.
I find it misguided when I hear/see a dog owner place their love for their dog over the safety of human beings
