I lived in Texas at one point and was walking my dog (about 40 pounds). Some kids went up to their front door and accidentally let their massive Rottweiler out the front door and he was going insane and started chasing us.

I let my dog off the leash and told him just to run. He didn't though and kind of stayed by me as the Rottweiler surrounded us barking. I was just screaming in the middle of the street at the Rottweiler and finally the hillbilly mom comes out and yells at the dog to come back. No apology at all.

The dog was so huge it definitely could of killed us both.

If I had a gun I 100% would have shot the dog. I ended up buying dog/bear spray that day and carried it from then on but gun is the better option.

Yup. I would have shot it 100%. Also on dog breed. A Rottweiler I’m not fucking with. Gone. A German shepherd. Done. A golden retriever? Not known to be aggressive dogs. But yeah…if I was in that situation. Shot

This is anecdotal so it should be taken with a grain of salt- I use to work at a doggy daycare and the breed we had problems with were mostly goldens. They were big resource guarders and didn't like sharing toys. We'd have to feed a lot of them individually.

Yeah I hear you. Golden scare number one in bites as well. They are gentle dogs generally speaking. I think I’ve had 3 of them. However, they are dogs…

People don’t train their dogs and you get exactly what you said my friend

Probably the only time I was actually scared for my life from a dog. Huge and mean I was helpless if he felt like hurting me

Yeah man. Totally. I be scared too. Dogs can kill. It’s dumb just not having something on you. People don’t train their dogs. They let them run loose and say stupid shit like “oh he never hurt me” or some garbage. Spray, knife. Gun. Whatever. Glad nothing happen and just a moment of awakening
