I don't like kids like that too, there were a lot like that where my friend lived when I 1st got Jo. They kids ALWAYS tanted Jo, hit either me, my friend or the dog with sticks, and teased Jo into barking etc. So one time, They we're cursing and saying rude stuff to me and my friend, and saying that Josie was a whimpy dog and such, which I really don't care what they think, but I decided to have fun with them. I know Jo thinks ppl are playing when they run, and I knew the kids would run if they saw her running at them. So I said, oh really? Jo, attack! and let her off her leash, and the kids we're like oh ****! And started to run, and Jo was like YAY! PLAY!! And she chased them, and just before she got to close I called her, and she came back to me. I suppose it was cruel, but they didn't hit her after that. The kids we SOO...er..anyway, that was a while ago. Kids these days can be evil, so just keep an eye on them ;x (sorry for ranting..)
