That's funnier than hell. Especially the lame attempts by
the defendants to blame the cyclist; "He was 35-40 miles from
his residence" so it's his fault. The more the defendants try
to place the responsibility on the cyclist, the more annoyed
Judge Judy gets. Heh.

That was LOL - I think JJ got it right. The dog either was not on a leash at
all, or was on a leash which was known, by previous acknowledged bike
incidents, to be inadequate.

Dog owners need to keep their animals restrained, 100% of the time. And they
also need to understand: The whole world does not love their dog. In fact,
everyone else (outside their family) views their dog as a threat.

(the sound of a gavel is heard)

Case closed.

She doesn't always stick up for cyclists. Some years back a BMXer came
to court. Some guy had stolen his bike and stripped it of a lot of
pricey aftermarket parts and sold them. The guy was caught and made to
repair the bike and return it. The thief put on a bunch of low end
parts.

The bike owner sued, Judge Judy didn't "get it" since the owner got a
functioning bike back. She told the bike owner to "read a book"
instead of riding a bike and dismissed his case.

Yeah....Judge Judy stood up for a cyclist....who hit a dog that ran out into
the road..the owners didn't want to pay out-of-pocket expenses for the hurt
cyclist..and got sued for expenses plus pain and suffering. the cyclist
won.

That's amazing. Being 35-40 miles from home is somehow relevent?
Insanity. These are the people who blame the store when they spill
their coffee on themselves and get burned.

Yeah, the defendants allowed their pit bull to run out and chase cyclists
and then said, "He had no business being in our neighborhood!" The "miles
from home" argument went like this: he could have been riding in his own
neighborhood so he made a conscious choice to go where he might get hurt.

Brian,

If you actually use the hotmail account linked to your profile I sent
you something about this. I feel for you on the nannywall, been there!

I'll say. I often go on long walks with my infant son in his stroller,
or bike rides with my older kids. When I hear an aggressive dog bark,
I immediately form a plan as to how I will go about killing the dog
should it attack us. Anything that promotes that sort of reaction in
basically a normal person (that being me for those in doubt...) is
certainly a threat, and surely quite at odds with how the keepers of
the dog see things.

I suspect most dog are not dangerous, and most dog keepers (even those
of dangerous dogs) probably keep them in a responsible manner, but how
do I know that? I don't gamble my life cheap, and certainly not that
of my children.

Then there was the dog that was so interested in chasing me, that he
(she?) failed to notice the pick-up coming the other direction. Quite a
mess to scrape off the road.

Never forget that a dog is just a selectively bred wolf, and a crying
child invokes the predatory instinct.

Get a can of this to discourage the dogs:
<http://www.counterassault.com/Bear_Deterrent/body_counter_assault_bear_deterrent.html>.

A hardwood walking stick about 40 mm in diameter and about 1.6-1.8 m
long will work well against a dog that can not be discouraged by pepper
spray.
