They are naturally fearful of me, with good reason. Dogs too. Excepting Chihuahuas. Tiny dogs are stupid. I have one. Instead of "booking" it into the garage, you should have just growled at it as you approached it. Make a fist too. Would have sent it away with its tail tucked. Bears are another story. === Dog packs are dangerous but they're more interested in deer than anything else. Dogs, wolves, coyotes, etc., are all dangerous in packs and capable of taking down some fairly large animals. They are all natural born stalkers and hunters if given the chance. Yep. OTOH, a single coyote - all 35 pounds of him - isn't much. Especially if you're bundled in winter clothes. Everyone has their own way of dealing with these kind of incidents. My inclination would be to scare it off immediately, since I don't want it attacking my back. You have to let any canine know who's boss. What's scarier is being attacked by a skunk. They have poor eyesight and have come right at me at night time. That's when I beat feet. There's no shortage of news stories about packs of feral dogs attacking humans or the pets of humans. Gosh, I've not seen these stories. Perhaps you could direct us to some sites? Humans attacked by feral dog packs along the Shenandoah River? Please? -- Google is your friend. Perhaps you can find some examples of attacks by black dogs on white peeples.  === The following search of Google for feral dog attacks in Virginia turned up nothing relevant: https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&gl=us&tbm=nws&authuser=0&q=feral+dog+ attacks+virginia&oq=feral+dog+attacks+virginia&gs_ l=news-cc.12..43j43i53.3904.3904.0.6039.1.1.0.0.0.0.75.75 .1.1.0...0.0...1ac.2.8e6WHAQdXK8 There was an incident in Virginia Beach where a stray dog killed a family pet, and there was a stray dog attack at a zoo in Jackson, Mississippi. Other than that, nada. It would appear that big pussy Harry just likes to open carry. He's probably afraid one of his good buddies (wink) (wink) will turn on him out in the woods near his one bed camp site. It's 24 degrees out there and windy as hell, and my dogs are bugging me to take them for a walk. I think I'll take them out, let 'em freeze their butts off for a bit, and then maybe they'll leave me alone. -- Ban liars, tax cheats, idiots, and narcissists...not guns! |
