My parents always told me to ask before petting/approaching someones dog. I have never been bit by a dog.

I also remember knocking on my neighbor's doors numerous times with my brother, asking them to retrieve our football/tennis ball/frisbee that had flown into their yard, or allowing us the permission to do so. If they were not home, we waited until they came home. Often at times they'd throw it over, if they were away and came home and saw it.

If these dogs are put to sleep it's simply outrageous.


I feel bad for the boy, one for not being taught and another for being attacked. The dogs were simply protecting their territory.


I'm sure a human would freak out too if all of the sudden a little boy comes hopping over your fence.
