Dogs are great, especially to protect the home when you are not there, but 
the reality is that there are times that a dog is as vulnerable as a person.

I remember being on a hike when I was a boy scout.  The scout master had a 
dog and we ended up getting on the same path as what turned out being a 
sick cougar.  Sadly the cougar got the best of the poor dog, but the scout 
master got the best of the cougar with his Winchester 30-30 lever action.

Given the option, I prefer to have both.


In liberty,

Scott
