Discussion
As a dog lover, I can't help but think that some breeds should be put down (or the owners)

i still maintain we should have a dog license
If someone is found in charge of a dog without the correct license then they are taken away and humanily put down.

Then the dog can be rehomed with a responsable owner
The other side generally say 'bad dog owners won't bother with a license anyway so what's the point'. However, start seizing dogs from those without licenses and things will soon change.

And also a licence to breed IMHO. Madness that you used to have to be licensed to have a dog but you could pop out kids for fun regardless of what a feckless cretin you were.Then the dog can be rehomed with a responsable owner

Must have been quite terrifying. I do feel sorry for the dog, what chance did it have with an owner such as that.http://news.sky.com/home/uk-news/article/16194282
As a note on the video, the officers don't seem to be rushing to help their colleague who is being attacked by the dog.

How does a non-dog person tell the difference between a dog running up and being friendly, vs running up and wanting to bite you in the arse?
Waggy tails = good signSnarling, showing teeth & hackles up (hair on its back raised up) = bad
Our dogs will bark at random visitors to the garden, but they also wag their tails at the same time. Rarely will they put their hackles up.
A dog behaving like its going to attack is often its first form of defense, you will most frequently find adjusting your position helps lots. The classic position to put yourself in to make the dog back down is to make the dog think your a friend. Putting a hand down & forward is usually the best method, greet it with a friendly hello doggy type phrase.

There's more to it than is or is it not wagging it's tail.
If it's holding it's tale high that's not a good sign, small slow wags tend to meen the dogs working out what's happening and are you a threat, long big wags show a excited, energetic dog normally but not always happy.
Look at the lips , if there curled back that's not good, dogs have a natural reflex to curl there lips back a bite.
The stuff about collies and bites is pretty much due to lazy owners not exercising the dog or it's brain enough. The are extremely clever energetic dogs and if there not being stimulated they get short and snappy, aswell as that there bred to herd so react to movement.

I broke a knuckle punching a collie in the head. To be fair, it was protecting my house at the time and launched its self, fangs first, right at my face when I came in through the back door in the middle of the night instead of the front door.
The punch was an instinctive reaction but saved me from losing most of my face.
