re: Jogger kills 15-pound pug with a kick

I would like to know the circumstances of the first time he was bitten, i.e. if it was while jogging. Overall, I agree with the folks that think it was odd to kick the shite out of a pug. However, she fricked up by not having a leash. That being said, I don't think it should give him free reign to murder the dog, but maybe he didn't mean to. No one knows how hard he kicked it. I personally do not trust strangers to do the right thing whatsoever, be it while driving or interacting in public places, and I certainly don't trust a stranger to keep their dog from biting me, even if it is small. I don't trust other people to have dogs with up to date shots, even if it is a small dog. Small dogs can draw blood too, and that would be all I cared about. I would probably kick a dog to get it away from me, and I feel like the guy may have acted in fear in a quick situation. However, if it comes out that the guy was just spiteful of little dogs on this trail and kicked one for the hell of it, then damn him. I want to wait to get more details. My hope is it was just a freak accident and the dog had some bad luck, and the parties can make amends in one way or another.
