Dogs are a pain in the ass. Plain and simple.
Spraying them rarely works. Tasers are also a crapshoot. I tased a dog twice. It went down like a sack of rocks both times, for exactly five seconds. Then it got up even more pissed off. Then it tried to kill me. Literally tried to eat my face off. I didn't have a shot initially (with a gun) because of all the ghetto rats that were chasing the dog down the middle of the street/video recording the encounter. (dat fourth Cooper rule I learned for willie_pete)
Not to mention the passing traffic on what is one of the top ten busiest streets in Denver metro where this happened.
By the time I had a clear shot, I couldn't work my hands anymore. I had to have my rider hop in and move my unmarked rustbox out of the middle of the damn street while I was squirting all of my blood all over the passenger side seat.
After the surgeries to repair(ish) my hands and the constant pain to remind me of how glorious and awesome this job is, I especially like smooth operators like willie_pete to come in and MMQB everything we do!
Oops, that's not a paper dog target!!!
