Are dogs in your neighborhood aggressive ?

@Notanymore I'd walk right up to him, half expecting a "rottie rumble"
cute dog showing me his ball...

I grew up around big dogs and my personal bulldog, I'm more scared of chihuahuas than any "big scary" dogs

@RoxClymer And rightly so. Little dogs were bred for killing rodents, and it shows.

@Notanymore what an absolute cutie

@CrazyMusicLover I have always had dogs myself (I like them but also for safety reasons), but this has been a huge problem for me too, because other people's off-leash freaking dogs would charge at mine, and many times I had to break up fights. My dog was big, so was their dogs often, and I'm just a small woman. It's ridiculous. Many times the owner wouldn't even help, and some even had the audacity to get pissed when I kicked their dog to get it off mine. I only let mine off-leash in specific fenced-in areas for this sole purpose, where I could also trust the other dogs. Now I have a dog with epilepsy and I'm terrified of another dog attacking him and triggering a really bad seizure.

@Blanchy Omg, be careful, I heard about nasty attacks when an owner tried to separate fighting dogs. One woman in my residential area has died because she caught infection and sepsis in this kind of situation. I guess it doesn't happen often but still, dog bites can be dangerous for this reason.

@CrazyMusicLover I try to be careful, I don't put my hands near their faces. I have vaccinations against rabies and this other thing which I forgot what's called in English, just in case. I mainly had this problem when I lived in Denmark, in Ukraine most people have control over their dogs. Here we have strays, but those actually respect humans, so you can just yell at them to go away. Still, it always worry me, so I wish laws around off-leash dogs – and dogs that can get out of their colors – would be more strict. It's not even as much fear as it's just hating the thought of possibly getting into an uncomfortable situation like that anytime I go out. /=

@CountScrofula i dont trust hunters with dogs. Or farm dogs.

I live in the city so most dogs know how to act

@SarahAndSamantha some dogs are introverted and dont want to be pet, u gotta respect that lol

@Bowenw could drive one crazy

@KOGGG Log drops on Koggg

@Hanginginthere The stompers are the worst ones.

@NativePortlander1970 Well, this might be my controversial opinion but I think this is exactly how aggressive dogs should be treated and there shouldn't be repercussions for it if the dog is notorious for such behaviour. At that point it's a wild animal and people have the right to defend themselves just the same as they would against a bear or a cougar.
