So pet dog owners here are words of wisdom for pet dog owners from someone In the close family:

1. Your dog loves YOU and may never bite you. But you can never guarantee how he/she will respond to a stranger and might react if they sense a threat, however illogical.
2. Your pet is your choice and passion. It’s not other person’s burden to bear. Others may be even a bigger animal lover than you, but still may not comply to your demanding nature to accommodate you and your pet.
3. Better to be safe than sorry. Why risk other people’s safety. Muzzle them around kids especially in cramped up places like lifts, stairs etc.
4. Lot of people are very uncomfortable and scared around / with dogs. Respect their feelings when they visit you or meet you. Tie your dog, keep them inside a room. Don’t keep laughing and saying “ oh he’s harmless” when your large dogs pounce on someone, even if lovingly. For whatever it’s worth, maybe the other person doesn’t like getting licked by a dog or probed in crotch.

It all comes down to why should we force out opinions on others. You don’t like pets, you have no right to criticise those who have them. And same way, if you love having pets, it’s your choice. Don’t expect the world to stop spinning coz you snuggle up to a Dalmatian. Respect others and act like a responsible pet parent. more

I believe that dogbites by stray dogs are more frequent than the bites by Pets. Moreover, attack by strays are more dangerous since these dogs are not inoculated. more

The problem is due to the fact that mot people who have dogs as pets, DO NOT TRAIN THEIR PETS at all. They think that just having a dos as a pet is good enough. They do not realise that training pets is like educating small children. more
