who let the dogs out?

Rat terriers

Yep, bred (well, kept because they were good at it) to eliminate Rats. You got me on that one

The trick is to shoot them before they bite you.

South Carolina woman mauled to death by Rottweilers who then turned on and attacked their owner

A pair of Rottweilers mauled a pensioner to death before attacking their owner, police revealed today.

Sirlinda Jayne Hayes, 66, was waiting for a friend outside her one-story home in Dillon County, South Carolina and tending to her turnips and collard greens when the dogs attacked her for no apparent reason.

When their owner tried to help they also turned on him. He is still in the hospital recovering from the injuries suffered in the horrific attack.

Dillon County deputies have said the dogs were running loose when they attacked her

If I posted a story about an infant choking to death in a side-sliding crib would you have asked the same question?

you go first

That is not what you said...but I'll go first anyway...

Many people are unaware of the danger their dog poses to themselves, their family members, and others. The think that because their dog has never bitten anyone it couldn't possibly be a danger to anyone.

As in most cases of general public ignorance, education goes a long way. but rather than simply preaching to people that their dogs are like loaded firearms waiting to cause injury, the best way to teach people about danger is to present real life examples of the danger.

What percentage of the population knows that approximately 1 person dies every week from a dog attack? Or that there are approximately 1,000 emergency room visits everyday for dog bites, and the great majority of victims are children?

Can you imagine the outcry if 1,000 people per day were injured by fisher Price toys?

I handle my dog the same way I handle my firearms - I assume they loaded.

Yet you use a wireless collar....

Yet you use a wireless collar....

A wireless collar "disarms" my dog more effectively than a leash.

when I press the warning button, it beeps, warning my dog what might follow if it does not give me its undivided attention.

The look on my dog's face is "don't tase me bro! I've stopped whatever I was doing and I'm paying attention to you!"

So your purpose was to inform.

Trust in man's best friend does not trump common sense.

So what is the solution to 1000 injuries per day?
