My dog has been charged at a couple of times by unleashed dogs. She's small and leashed, so I quickly pulled her back and picked her up while the other dogs tried to jump at at me. And while I'm there trying not to drop her or fall over, their owners just leisurely jog over and give the whole "don't worry he's friendly! He just wants to play" excuse.
Like absolutely the fuck not! Get your dog off me before I kick them away. I hate hurting animals but if I have to to protect me and my dog I will. I absolutely can't stand people who refuse to leash their dogs in public spaces. They always claim their dogs are friendly or obedient with good recall.
Well guess what? Every dog is friendly until they aren't. Every dog is obedient until something you didn't know about beforehand triggers them.
If I am reading this right, out of state dog owners don't have to follow any animal laws in Tennessee. >

What in the fuck...
If my dog was eaten and the authorities told me nothing could be done because the attacking dogs were from out of state I would be going to jail.
Like I am seriously scared of what the repercussions would be for myself because I would not be rational. >

Just go into a different state before you do whatever you're going to do and you'll be in touchable. >

The In Touchables >

Sounds like a frottage based incredibles themed porno. >

Breaking news! Leash you dogs! >

No no my dog is special! What? Ahhh! He’s never done that before I swear! 

every single entitled unleashed dog owner ever >

Whatever bro. I'm a leopard owner. Leopards are gentle, loving creatures. My Leopard isn't going to eat anyone's face >

Right? I have the MOST GENTLE POLAR BEAR EVER!! >

Jesus the bullshit we have to endure because people won't secure their fucking animals >

My niece and nephew, 10 and 12, were both just attacked by the  new neighbors' dog, 1 of 4 dogs they have in a small split entry. Multiple puncture wounds and tears. Dog was put down. Moral of the story, put your dogs on a leash or fence them in. >

Also: sue their asses
Edit:
I mean sue the neighbors’ asses. 
The kids have already been through enough >

Neighbor is a cop also, public safety should be number 1. >

Right, should probably put the neighbor down too.  As cops are a breed known for their aggression. >

"Her surviving dog doesn’t yet realize that Tobie was killed, she said. 'Sadie lays by the door waiting for her brother to come home.' " >

Utterly heartbreaking. >

“He told police he let his dogs, a German Shepherd and a Belgian Malinois, go into the woods beside the hotel to relieve themselves, as they are used to going out unleashed on their property at home in Nebraska. “
The owner just let the dogs loose in an unfamiliar location, never mind not on a lead, but not supervised at all?! And the law says nothing can be done? Well, maybe this is a sign those damn laws need to be changed. >

Can you imagine how horrifying that was to watch your beloved pet killed brutally in front of you? I have a family member who had that happened to him. You don't get over that. >

Yeah, my dog was repeatedly attacked, almost always by some type of bull breed monstrosity.  She never learned from this and always optimistically assumed that every dog she saw wanted to be her friend. So she'd go trotting up like 'Hello fellow dog!' and they'd go for her while typically the useless fucking owner would stand there doing fuck all while I had to drag their dog off of mine. Mostly not much damage but we did have a costly vets' bill once. I think it was at least as traumatic for me as it was for her, you can't help but worry and be protective about your dog. I started wearing my steel toe cap work boots when walking her.
Edit - TBF sometimes the little yappy ones have a bad attitude too, they just do less damage and are less scary.
