Too bad dog wasn't more protective and didn't pounce when the guy grabbed the leash.
Many on the Fire are reflexively opposed to owning any dog that would be physically and temperamentally capable of repelling an attacker such as this one. I know my protection trained Doberman, of late 1980s through about the year 2000, would have been. He demonstrated his eagerness to engage those he thought were a threat. He'd have been all over that guy. But many here condemn the ownership of such dogs on the basis of their being unsafe, as they may attack the wrong person under the wrong assumption that they are defending their owner. I'd give just about anything to have him back in his prime. He was a great dog all around.
