We're the Only Ones Hounded Enough

New Jersey Police Officer Shoots Himself in the Foot While Fleeing Dogs [More]

Don't you hate it when that happens?

So the dogs didn't actually attack the girl?  Yet they were "running loose on the property"?

Nice house. Unmistakeably posted. It wouldn't have one of those underground electronic pet fences would it?  And did he cross the line?

Plenty of properties where I live have such yard containment systems. The Mrs. and I take walks, and sure enough, some of the bonehead pooches get excited and vocal about it as we pass by, but it's all a territorial display, and they know where to stop. We mind our business, don't acknowledge the dogs (which can agitate them) and keep walking. No problem.

The one time one got loose, I convinced him to let me take him home. Of course, not being afraid of dogs (and being prepared to deal with ones that don't know their place) helps convey proper attitude.

Here's hoping they let the dogs, who were only doing their jobs in "strict gun control" New Jersey, out of quarantine. They only wanted to stay home at the end of his shift.
