Bunch of stupid rules
depends on your perspective. Here is a true story,
2 years ago, a nice spring day, I take my kids, 3 and 5 at the time, along with my wife to a little pond down the road for a little freshwater fishing. I dug up some worms. wife packed a lunch, it was going to be a nice relaxing morning lazing in the sun catching sunfish. After about 1 hour or so, a dog, some large spaniel type, comes flying around us. It was one of those super jumpy dogs, knocking everything and jumping on my kids. My kids were clamoring up my waist screaming, they were terrifyied. I chased the dog away and we wacthed it do the same to another family. This continued for close to 1/2 hour. My kids were miserable and just watched the dog in the distance, he came back to spread his joy again. It takes alot to get me po'd but I was ready to truly kill the animal. An old couple, late 70s, started to approach and it became obvious it was their dogs, I went up to them, fuming and told them they are lucky I didnt break the dogs neck and throw it into the water. The guys said he didnt blame me and the apologized. We left and my kids still talk about it today. Our nice day endined up s#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&g. Long story, my point that dogs are very intimidating to little kids, we've had many run up to us on beaches and my kids freak. I like dogs but I was pulled off my bike by a german shepard when I was 12 delivering papers, had to get stitches, so I realize they can cause damage. just another perspective
