DANGER dogs – define please. I’m not stupid though a few may disagree, but, a dog protecting its home is why most people have dogs.

When they leave home dogs are commanded to protect or trained to protect their home against anyone who enters or invades the boundaries.

If people are stupid enough to ignore the dog’s barking (giving fair warning they are there) then it’s their own fault not the dog’s.

Dangerous dogs are dogs running loose, out of control, biting anyone or anything they comes into contact with, or attacking visitors for no reason in a property.
