Also, i was very surprised that many people here said that if Oakley had landed in their yard, their dog would've 'ripped him to bits.'
Sounds like there is a lot of vicious dogs owned here, you'd think people who joined a forum dedicated to the care, training and love of their dogs would prioritise socialization high on their list. Obviously not.
(With the exception of guard dogs... but personally i think guard dogs are in a league of their own, they're not generally loved family pets like most people's dogs, so why would an owner of a guard dog join this forum??)

Now, it would be a totally different story if I or my husband were outside with her. Even though she is a guard dog, she is *gasp* trained and highly socialized. So before you go around calling our dogs vicious, unsocialized, unloved, uncared for, and untrained, I suggest you read a little about those of us that said Oakley would have been in danger had it been our yards so that you can be educated instead of insulting.
And as for your rude comment about guard dogs not generally being loved family pets and the asinine assumptions that an owner of a guard dog NOT join a dog forum... my vicious attack dog is currently laying at my side, with her head on my chest, snoring. Yup, that's right, this unloved, uncared for highly unsocialized monster is in our house, laying on my bed, snoring. The horror!
