As much as I hate raising a hand to any dog, I know that if any dog came at my pups while they were on the leash I'd probably do what delidog did.... a swift kick to the teeth, ribs, wherever I can reach.

People who refuse to do anything about agressive dogs really tick me off! I see it at the dog park all the time. A handful of dogs pick fights all the time and the owners do nothing. I had to fight off *2* HUGE pits who were going after Chloe and Charlie. I wailed on them! The owners yelled at ME for whacking their dogs even tho they were attacking MY dogs and ME because I was down at their level trying to get my dogs away.

If you live in a neighborhood with agressive dogs, I'd definitely recommend bringing some sort of protection... sprays, a stick, a folded over leash...

Good luck!
