I grew up in an area with many feral dogs roaming about who would attack your ass if they got the chance, so I  hate how so many Americans let their dogs roam free and approach people aggressively.

Someone is going to get a nasty surprise when I shank a dog that decides to run up to me. I have been close to that several times, and have been nearly bitten by someone’s mangy-ass mutt once. I literally had my knife open in my pocket and was about to stab it when it backed off. Perhaps it sensed something in my scent or that I was not afraid of it, but I was nearly ready to kill it.

Why dogs are treated like they are in the US, as if they are people, I have no idea.
