Finally after dressing your wounds and they heal, your scars remind you not to approach the fence again. You can still say...nice doggie, and you realize why he is there (to protect the house), but never again will you try to make friend with it. You stay on your side of the fence and he stays on his.
Its not personal, its just the way things have to be sometimes.

In my community there are leash laws. Also if a dog becomes a threat to a neighborhood its time to break out the "ole pistola".
What if that dog got loose and harmed or killed a child?
