Attack with a Deadly Dog
Maybe you've heard a lot in the news lately about dogs and their attacks on people. First a woman gets attacked by two large dogs in her apartment complex, gets chomped and dies. Earlier, a man whose SUV was rear-ended got "bitten" by the dog's owner when he confronted her then he chucked the dog into traffic (he lied). Not too long ago, a little boy was severely mauled by three pit bulls and sustained catastrophic injuries. They're surprised he's still alive. But he might not make it.
It's more and more in the news, but in the City, there has been a drop in dog attacks on people.
But the ferocity of the attacks make it seem like dogs are just out to get people. Could it be, hm. They're fed up with how we've been treating them over the years, and this is a kind of uprising against their masters? Hm. Could it be, maybe, dog food just doesn't quite taste that good, so they're kinda pissed? Maybe it's my meat perfume. I'm making light of a serious situation, but some dog owners just beat their pups up so much that they don't know what to do with themselves when faced with newcomers. All that pent up angst unleashes (forgive the pun) itself upon an innocent.
I feel bad for the dogs, but likewise, I feel for the victims.
At any rate, blame the dogs for their rage, but their owners for not raising them right. But could we make that same argument with children and parents? If children act out are their parents ultimately responsible? Fight with me on this one, some just are bad seeds from the start, and some were taught by bigger badder seeds by the name of mommy and daddy.
Just a thought. Be nice to your pets. And most definitely to the kids.
