Did you call police? Someone is going to have to deal with that dog.

Over in misc.rural, I've seen the "3 S's" - Shoot, Shovel, and Shut up.
If the dog goes after my kid, the dog will be dead, and the backhoe
will make noise for a minute or three.

True in a lot of places.
Arizona is an interesting state because it consists of urban islands
isolated by
miles and miles of desert, rangeland, etc. In the urbanized areas you call
animal
control when you encounter a dog running loose. In the un-urbanized,
mostly
uninhabited areas, the rule is more direct. Free roaming dogs are likely
to be shot
on sight.

not really, otherwise we'd likely have no coyotes left.

In neither case are dogs running loose tolerated. Nor should they be.
