"It only had that one though as I immediately took out my .45 and shot the dog dead, then placed the smoking muzzle to the owners nose and dared him to say anything. He declined. Amazingly."

Wow, Brian, too bad you're not single.

I think I'm in love.

The answer is that two kids DID climb the (six foot high) fence to play with the doggie. Two were guests of the "special" child in the house, who had been encouraged to abuse the animal by kicking and shouting at it.

The fence is posted.

A well-trained dog knows the difference between a harmless child, and an intruder.

Perhaps someone should turn their .45 onto your violent pups, BrianR.

I know, for a fact, that any dog my brother trains, would protect its territory, to the death, from an INTRUDER... but would never harm a helpless, harmless child...

Just sayin'...

There are no dangerous dogs, only dangerous owners.

BTW, my Shih Tzus are the only dogs I've ever had with a killer instinct. They cornered a cat in the yard and were trying to kill it (came close) when the Mrs. rescued the cat. The rest of the pack were only barking and sniffing. The Shih Tzu is one of the least threatening dogs in the world.

You never can tell though.
Yes, and I'm having trouble with the jump from the first sentence in this snippet and the last sentence in the snippet.

What if it's the dreaded helpless, harmless child intruder? Huh?

Darn, you've got me, there...

They could...

HOBBLE AROUND UNCERTAIN AND NON-THREATENINGLY!

*Dramatic Crescendo!*

Just think of the horror those children could cast upon this poor person's yard.

"Harmless" kids have tortured animals, burned houses down, and murdered each other. I'll bet the dog in question did know the kids weren't helpless little angels, but little sadistic monsters.

PDX is in the midst of a major long-running controversy over unnecessary (?) police shootings.
Also, this morning the local news reported that police responded to an 911-call "intruder in the house"
and shot the homeowner's pitbull because it was being aggressive towards them.

My wife wants me to get a bumper sticker: Shoot more pitbulls... less people

I always wonder "What's up?" with calling 911 for police help, and YOU KNOW your dog will defend it's territory from them.

NEVER do they tell the cops "Watch out for my dog, it can be aggressive" NEVER do they put the dog in a bathroom and close the door on it. Never do they slip on the leash. That never seems to happen. The owner is undoubtedly in an excited frame of mind; not thinking clearly, atm.

What are the cops supposed to do? They can't turn tail and run away, they have a job to do to find the intruder. Allegedly, there is an emergency, in the house.

Seems almost like "dog murder by cop proxy", by the dog's owner.

One more thing to add to the list of bad things dog owners have done. Since there maybe is/was an intruder in the house, I don't blame the owner too much for being irrational.
