Dogs and lack of a "leash law"

Dogs can bite unexpectedly, and it's not uncommon if they're not feeling like their usual self, or if they're in pain. I've heard about dogs biting in these cases. Although once a dog bites once, you know they are capable of doing it again and I wouldn't feel safe around a dog that has bit someone.

I leave my dog indoors, he's pampered but that keeps him safe from others since all he does is bark, he wouldn't hurt anyone. He is a big dog, so just by barking scares people away. Puppies go through their biting phase between 8-12 weeks, that's when they learn that biting people is not okay. It makes me angry that people neglect their dogs and don't teach them good behaviours. That's basically forfeiting their life as soon as something bad happens.

I'm all for leash laws, I just wish there were more dog parks because my dog can't really run around much on his own unless I drive to the nearest dog park for him to play.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
