This is why some people don't mess with dogs.

O my God so sad.

Maybe if she had a Glock with one of those 17 round mags, she might still be alive?

Dog owners do better. Sounds like what I am battling with my neighbors pit bulls vs all of the utility people and workers who have to access my yard HoustonTX The dogs charge right through my fence to get to people.

Terrible

Omg 😳
