From the perspective of someone defending himself from a threat, a discussion about dogs can be very on topic.
I'm not talking about a x breed vs. y breed is better or safer argument, of course, but on how we determine a threat is occurring and how can we defend ourselves from the threat.
As an adult, I've been able to stand my ground and a dog that barks or charges at me has stopped. When I was a kid this NEVER happened. They all chased me down and tried to eat me.
I have a question for the dog people here. Do they deal with me differently because of the way I deal with dogs now, or is it that I'm just luckier now? Or is it a little bit of both?
