I am at the end of my proverbial rope with the Flexi illiterate! I have a paper route, as it pays decent money for very little work, and every single morning I run across this man with a dog that is HUMAN aggressive, and EVERY morning this dog tries to BITE me!! This dog has also charged my car more than once trying to jump through my window!
And of course, WHAT is this guy walking this meance of a dog on!? An effing
FLEXI LEAD! You all know I'm a big advocate of "don't put the dog down unless absolutely neccessary", but how the heck to you rehab a dog that's aggressive to other people?! I think it's probably safe to assume that he's aggressive towards dogs to but, geez!
And you know, I've been narrowly missed by this dog more than once, one of these days, I don't doubt, I'm going to get bit, because:
#1 I deliver at 5 in the AM, and I have keritikonis, aka, the rods and cones in my eyes don't function correctly and I can't see for *** in the dark
#2 The dog is BLACK and white (predominately black) and the owner never wear's reflective clothing...I can only tell where the dog is when his eyes glow...this obviously doesn't help with issue #1
#3 The guy can't freaking reel in his dog! The dog has swung wide many times and nearly nailed me
And to give you an idea of how bad my eyesight really is in the dark...I delivered to a customer today, and she was waiting for me at her side door...I was staring right at her as she was talking to me, and couldn't see a damn thing,. She scared me so badly because I couldn't see her, I jumped >.<
I miss the snow....I was freezing while I delivered, but the light reflecting off the snow made it brighter so I could see :-/
Anyway, this was my quick rant. And before ya'll tell me to "Call animal control" I did. They won't do a damn thing because the dog was "Under control" (Yeah right) and he didn't actually bite me. Nevermind that the dog actively aggresses against me with no provocation....
