Be aware that a pack of dogs can be almost as dangerous and bloodthirsty as a mob of people. They kill for fun, not food. They will attack anything that interests them-other dogs, livestock, deer, children and adults. They are not to be messed with. If the owners can not be found, contact the sheriff or other law enforcement agency, even the DNR. They get bolder and bolder, and they start with no fear of man. Its not just a group of individual dogs, its a pack. It doesn't act like domestic dogs. They may have to be trapped out or killed for the safety of other animals and people in the area. It sounds cruel, but they have already killed your dog. If you are walking in an unsafe area-don't!! A shotgun with buckshot might protect you if its a small pack and you are a good shot.
Many years ago, I read an article in a magazine by a man who hunted packs of dogs that had become a danger. He armed himself with a shotgun, a handgun, and a fighting knife because the dogs would attack and keep coming even as he shot them. The dogs don't react in a sane manner.
The pack can consist of any breed of dog, not just bully breed. Labs, spaniels, setters, pointers. A pack mentality sets in.
Smile, for we walked together for a little while.
