[QUOTE=Gladys Turnip;2407619] Last week one of these dogs charged at us and jumped on us; almost knocked us over, and got muddy paw prints all over our shirts and pants.
So, my question is: What do we do about this? What CAN we do about this? Who do we report this to? How do we make it stop? Or how should we react when it happens next time? Looking for practical suggestions and advice. Thanks!
Suggestions:
1. Keep away from areas that are not likely public recreation areas. Like under power lines, industrial areas, and construction areas. Potentially dangerous even sans dogs.
2. Keep your phone handy. Document any aggressive activities and do not hesitate to call 911 to report any incident. Once recorded complaint against dog/owner becomes evidence for future. Rap sheet.
3. Remember, "I'm sorry" doesn't mend broken bones, clean and stitch wounds, medical or emotional. The damage is done.
Reports, police involvement and prosecutions will help.
