I am very sorry to hear about your injuries. I love dogs but would be afraid of a Pit Bull.

You are correct gracie.. I am referring to my hometown here in Iowa. I have walked near and far in the villages and never saw one loose dog and never felt unsafe. Clearly TV is a safe beautiful place. My question in another post about living in the center of TV was me being me thinking through all possibilities pros and cons in the future. My post in this thread was to let readers know that in my opinion and experience dog sprays and pepper sprays will not stop a determined attacking dog unfortunately.
In TV would go unarmed or maybe take a cane only because I think it is Very unlikely anyone would have a problem. I must say that around the more public areas like the squares in the darker parking lot type areas at night I think as time goes on the outside criminal element will start to try to take advantage of the older and perceived wealthier population in TV. I was in law enforcement for 31 years and I could be paranoid or just learned how criminals think and crime spreads.
