I honestly could care less about dog on dog crime. Animal kingdom rules, happens all the time in the wild. What makes me very nervous is that loveable cuddly bullet taking family dog when it snaps all bets are off for a dog or kid.

Why on earth anyone would even what to take the chance around their kids, or other kids with that risk is at the very least irresponsible and selfish.

Oh and the whole home defence argument? Get an alarm, or a weapon, even a gun. At least then you can take massive precaution, and lock it up, and know for sure it ain't going off randomly.

Good luck getting a Gun for protection in Canada.
