This seems to be a pretty hot topic! Understandably so...one the one hand you've got man's best friend and the other you have one of the best ways to spend your time (let alone the Billions of $$$ that are spent every year).
With that being said, here are my 2 cents: I am a dog lover since birth and have my own that is like my family. IMO, it is the dog owner's RESPONSIBILITY (a very key word that many people tend to forget) to keep the dog from running wild.
Just out of curiosity, has anyone seen the report out of CO. about a pack of dogs (yes they were Pit Bulls) that killed a 40 year old woman who was going out to tend her horses (interesting post the other day on horse hunters hating bow hunters...wonder how they feel about dog owners?!?! [

]) Anyway, the owner of the dogs are now facing charges from a misdameanor to homicide.
Dog Owners: It is our RESPONSIBILITY to protect our best friends!!!!
Ok..that was more like 4 cents worth!
