[QUOTE="Rook, post: 480931, member: 21180"] Regarding defense training against dogs, I've had this instruction numerous times during PCM and our Monday morning rookie driver safety meetings. I've only been around shy of two years now, but I've had dozens of close calls that I like to think I walked away from injury-free because I did exactly what the vets said: face the dog while you walk, speak firmly, put the package or diad between you, and be ready to whack the animal in the face. That reminds me of a question that's been on my mind since this story surfaced. In training, one of the finance suits explained to us that a run-over dog that dies costs us almost nothing, where one that lives has stacks of vet and emergency bills that have to be paid. I wonder if it's the same, all 'depends' aside, when I beat a dog to death after it attacks me? Assuming of course that the dog in this story actually did attack the driver, would it have been better had the dog died from its injuries? God knows I don't want to kill dogs. Not the regular-sized normal ones anyway. I'm just curious how this works out from a legal and financial standpoint. [/QUOTE]
