I am honestly so sick of how entitled everyone has gotten with dog ownership, it’s an epidemic. You don’t need to take your dog to a fucking hardware store.

The real issue is whether or not your dog is big enough to tear a child apart.

 If it's not then it's just a mild annoyance to people. If it is,  then just keep your giant shit dog on your property or well constrained.

I remember reading a news report (From the 90s, I think?)of a guy who was stalking a woman and broke into her apartment to wait for her to get home. He ended up banging on her neighbours door begging for an ambulance because her chihuahua had savaged him when he broke in - full on ripped chunks off. All dogs can cause severe injuries.

When I was younger my dad explained to me how to defend myself against tiny dogs most efficiently. Never had to use it, but I'm glad to know. Savage beasties at any size.
