More fool you.

Investigation continues into deadly dog mauling attack

Mindless stuff. That situation is very easy to avoid, most
obviously keeping the dog inside the house when you are out.

I certainly did do that, basically because I wasnt too keen
on what might happen if one of the neighbour's kids came
over the fence to get a ball back while I wasnt home.

The only marginally undesirable event I ever had was with
one of the neighbour's kids that had his own dog. He used
to come over quite a bit and would normally pat the dog as
the first thing he did. I warned him that it wasnt a good idea
to do that if he was chewing on one of his bones, he was
very defensive of his bones. One day the kid did it when the
dog was chewing his bone, got a pretty enthusiastic snarl.
I'd never actually seen someone turn grey in an instant before |-)

He didnt get bitten or anything.

Dogs do interesting things when they drink anti-freeze, read up about it
sometime
