At what point does the law say - the dog was provoked to bite and it is not the dog's fault?????
I was working on Bella's back run today, making it more private and taller. A neighbors daughter came up and told me that when I have had Bella out in her run, some neighboring boys have been sneaking up and jumping out at her and making growly noises and stuff on the other side of the fence. I already told the SPCA about. But if I can't stop these kids and Bella gets defensive enough and god forbid she ever grows up and gets out when they do this, what defence if any does the dog have.
I know that as the owner, I am to make sure the dog does not escape, but we are talking about provoking the dog to attack on defense, any opinions about this type of problem. If I could I would grab the kid and drag them around the ground for a while and then explain that that dragging is nothing compared to what the adult dog may do to them if they keep it up - but I'm not allowed to do that by LAW. Kids get protected and a dog does not :x :x :x
