The owners of the attack dog have melted away into the distance, unnamed and unknown. They got the hell outta there because they knew they were dead wrong. They probably are assholes, but the only thing that will happen if the incident is reported is that the aggrieved party, who were minding their own business and their dog wasn't aggressive and they ended up paying nearly nine hundred bucks to the vet, would get that "lecture" and those citations--and who needs a fine on top of all that bullshit?
I say they should invest in the strongest pepper spray the law allows--and maybe take bullwhip lessons. Be scouts on the hike...."Be Prepared."
I am not a gun fan, and I am a dog fan, but I would have understood completely if one in their party shot that damn dog that attacked the little one.
