When I used to jog with my lab, Beener and Graham there was this house that I ran by a couple of times and had to quit because this nasty little dashound (sp?) charged at me baring teeth, growling and bit my dog's legs. I kicked it hard enough to get it off my dogs but not hard enough to hurt it (but let me tell you, I sure wanted to at the time) and the owners did nothing about it. It charged at everyone who walked by and the owners did nothing to keep it in a yard, and did not keep it leashed. They would do yard work and let this little jerk of a dog out into the front yard and just casually call it's name if it started attacking anyone walking by. Of course the dog did not listen to it's owners because the owners put absolutely no effort into correcting it. So that's the only real dog bite I have had. It did not go after me as much as my dogs, but it went after me when I kicked it. If only I used the force I wanted to use it would have NEVER gone after me again!!!
