imagine this happening to you

[Sportsgirl]

The girls here are assuming this was a "cute lil puppy wuppy like Paris Hilton has", no, it was a big ugly, mean looking ass Doberman.

"The girls" arent' assuming shIt. But, by saying "mean looking ass Doberman" you certainly are. 99% of dogs are not mean, the larger breed often being the least likely to bite someone. I have worked with an animal adoption organization for years and have been around more dogs than you've dated and I have never been attacked or bit.

To refresh your memory of what Thor originally said about the dog, so we can know who around here is doing the assuming:

btw, this dog is 140 pounds and a big baby lapdog. one of the most friendly dogs you would ever meet. he wouldn't hurt a fly, period.

the dog, friendly as always, runs over to say hi to the folks stopping by. as the dog approaches the group, wagging his tail,

[Thor4140]

If the guy called the cops and waited for them to get there , any cop in their right mind would have never let the man carry a shotgun to approach them.

That is the part i don't understand. If it was around here the cops would have made him put away the gun.

[TexansFan]

According to the original story, the police didn't draw their weapons because they could see that the dog was coming to greet them, not kill them.

It was a talking dog?

Just kidding.

sportsgirl, is your dog half asian?

I believe I said if I had to guess. Neither really looked aggressive to me. What's the point of only showing me the back end? The farmer in this case could see the whole dog. It's obvious neither of those dogs are on the attack.

You're the one who claimed, "Dogs wear their feelings all over their body." I've usually only been able to spot one that's upset by looking at their face or the hair on their back. Just thought you might know something about them I didn't from your initial claim.

Sometimes i wear peanutbutter all over my body and you can def tell even if my head it cropped out of the pic. i will prove it tonight.

[bettilimbroke999]

The dog hadn't gotten there yet. I didn't say they were always friendly, I said you can tell when they are. I'm not playing this game with you. I'm pretty sure you take the short bus to school.

Swede I live in the South not Foxborough mmmk hun (clearly some heavy object has fallen on your head), now when a dog in a public park comes up to you in Fox you prolly just pet it and tell Tom Brady he's got a nice dog and go suck his dik behind the trees. But here in Tennessee when you have private property out in the country where hunting/fishing tend to happen you will get rednecks that will try to trespass on your land, now if you let these drunk degens come on your land they will invite all their friends and eventually you will have a free shooting range/public pond on your property and since ppl don't want that they run them off. Now unfortunately if you try to run some of the crazier, drunker rednecks off (especially if they appear armed or with some large attack dog) then they will occasionally refuse to tip their hat and leave like they do in Fox when a poodle walks up to you, instead they will say something like FUK YOU MOTHERPHUCKER, I FUKIN KNOW U U AINT GONNA LET ME HUNT OR FISH HERE WHAT THE FUK WHY DONT U JUST COME DOWN HERE AND KICK MY ASS YOU PIECE OF SHIT. Clearly, this landowner thought or had already dealt with this idiot and felt he might do that (or else he would've just told the guy to get off his land instead of calling the cops and coming down with a loaded shotgun for his protection). I don't even like talkin to women cuz they don't understand shit other than guys want to fuk em and that's worth money to em but I tried to dumb this down enough to where youd understand.

[SBR Lou]

To refresh your memory of what Thor originally said about the dog, so we can know who around here is doing the assuming:

Can we consider the source? This was written by the brother of the dog owner. To them, it was a big baby lapdog. In reality, it was a 140lb Doberman. That's not the type of dog you'd reach over and pet unless it was a dog of a friend.

I'll rescind my "all the ladies" comment, but let's be factual. This all happened very fast. Nobody should presume this dogs "personality" was apparent to this land owner in a span of a few seconds. He saw the animal approach him, and acted. If could just have easily taken a bite out of his leg.

[mofome]

He's half retard ... JK

if the other half was asian he would still likely be smarter than me.

[Sportsgirl]

sportsgirl, is your dog half asian?

Nope. He's part wolf which obviously makes him one mean mutherfvcker.

[swede96]

Yes, they do. Sometimes you have to look at the whole dog to know for sure, but there are things to look for from head to tail. The only reason I even said the top dog might be aggressive is because it's hard to tell in STILL pictures with dogs that have clipped tails. In person, you'd be able to see the little tail wagging. In any case, I don't see the point of that little exercise other than to try (and fail) at making me look stupid. Since the dog in question here had a head until that farmer came along.

I didn't even read that. You sir, are just plain stupid...how old are you, 14?

your dog is twice my size. how big is his lipstick?

The cops were there bro. If he didn't leave wouldn't he have been arrested?

So if it were a Golden Retriever it would have been wrong?

Crazyl, what I'm saying is, it should have been apparent to anyone with half a brain. Why didn't the cops shoot it? There were only three people (other than the owner) there and only one drew his gun. Why do you think that is?

I'd be much more likely to reach over and pet a doberman than I would a chihuahua - those little suckers will hurt you!

Serioulsy, Lou, I have three large dogs and none of them would hurt a fly - well, Max would probably hurt you if a I told him about you

[TexansFan]

Couldn't the owner have called the dog back? I'm sorry, if a freaking 140 lb dog is running towards me, and unless he's yelling out "I'm a friendly dog", I'm going to take it as a threat. Are you supposed to wait until he bites you first to then make your decision?

If the dog is some little 15 pound mutt then that would make a big difference.

[Sportsgirl]

Did you not like the song i sent you?

Don't you think that if the dog jumped you the cops would have done something?

is it a boy? boys have doggie lipstick.

i like the song, i have to clear my inbox to reply.

[Sportsgirl]

is it a boy? boys have doggie lipstick.

Yes, it's big and furry. How's yours coming along?

[bettilimbroke999]

The cops were there bro. If he didn't leave wouldn't he have been arrested?

Yes, so you stand there with your 140 lb redneck attack dog that is a lapdog to you but prolly would take a bit out of anyone it felt was attacking it's owner and wait for the cops to walk over to you, they tell you this is private property you'll have to leave and you leave and/or get fined or if you're truly insane you refuse and get arrested, simple as that, you and your dog are perfectly safe, happens all the time down here in the South b/c most rednecks (and myself even though Im not a redneck) aren't rich enough to own/rent land simply for the purpose of hunting/fishing, so they either get a friend to let them use their land or they trespass and eventually get caught and kicked off/fined. That's it, that's the way it works, the cops let the man keep his shotgun b/c almost always when dogs are involved it's a hunting trespass and the trespasser has a shotgun so why tell the guy who owns the property to be unarmed when the guy who's trespassing is armed?

[TexansFan]

Don't you think that if the dog jumped you the cops would have done something?

So you're supposed to wait to get bitten before you can defend yourself? That really doesn't make any sense at all.

[swede96]

Sporty, I really love that dog. I want to squish him all over. Can I have him?

[SBR Lou]

Don't you think that if the dog jumped you the cops would have done something?

You're right. His immediate reaction should have been to let the 140lb dog attack him if it wants to, because the cops are standing right next to him and would step in.

[Sportsgirl]

Sporty, I really love that dog. I want to squish him all over. Can I have him?

no, but you can come and visit him

This is the guy I want to adopt - but then I'd have 4!

[mofome]

So you're supposed to wait to get bitten before you can defend yourself? That really doesn't make any sense at all.

its not defense if there is no threat. if it was a person walking up to you do you shoot him before he maybe punches you?

[TexansFan]

You're right. His immediate reaction should have been to let the 140lb dog attack him if it wants to, because the cops are standing right next to him and would step in.

"Hold still sir, we're trying to shoot the dog that's on top of you. Oops, sorry about that hole in your chest"

[mofome]

"Hold still sir, we're trying to shoot the dog that's on top of you. Oops, sorry about that hole in your chest"

The only thing that seems off about the scenario is the cop saying 'sorry' and having a real excuse for shooting an innocent person.

[element1286]

its not defense if there is no threat. if it was a person walking up to you do you shoot him before he maybe punches you?

Agreed, we don't know all the facts, but from what was said originally the dog did not pose a threat. If there is no threat it is not defense, and the farmer had no right to shoot the dog.

[RageWizard]

As someone who has been attacked by some rednecks black lab on my own property while trying to get rid of said rednecks who were hunting with rifles in a posted area, I will side with the farmer. When I was attacked the dog was just wandering around and the hunter knew I was there to kick them off the property. The dog was trained to protect his owner and the closer I got the more vicious the dog became. I now take a riffle out with me every time I need to kick someone off the property just because I need to bring equal firepower. Now I would not shoot a animal unless he attacked me and I had no choice, but some people don't have the nerves to wait that long and trigger fingers get itchy in these situations.

[TexansFan]

Again, I would have to read the entire article and not a summation of it. I don't care what anybody says, a 140 lb dog in a full sprint towards you is a threat.

[bettilimbroke999]

"Hold still sir, we're trying to shoot the dog that's on top of you. Oops, sorry about that hole in your chest"

Nomination for post of the month , clearly he was wanting to avoid the dog attacking him and clearly he was not coming down with loaded shotgun and cops to say hey how's the fish biting mind if I pet your dog, anyone who would release their 140 lb doberman "lapdog" (must have an awfully big lap) to rush up on that group is a few cards short of a full deck and I can understand why the owner wanted this idiot off his property.
