I think he didn't think the realities of the situation through and had urealistic expectations of dog behavior.

For those who want chickens classified as livestock think again. If they are alot of people will be in violation somewhere, so it's better they aren't.

I have unrealistic hopes for my dog-I wish he would pick me up from work so I wouldn't have to drive, or be able to run to the store for me when I am busy. My black lab is a professionally trained retriever, he does everything but drive, but there is no way I would allow him off a leash around children or other pets. In six years we have NEVER had an incident where he even jumped up on a person but I still wouldn't ever want to risk him scaring or even drooling on someone. I am surprised and bothered by the people that let their dogs run all over people, jumping, nipping. Noones dog is so cute that it is acceptable to allow them to misbehave or roam.

even police K9's are kept on a very short leash. And those guys have more training than almost any dog out there!

Which is an attitude that is entirely too pervasive in today's society. They are not dogs, they are furry children ... and are expected to behave as such. Causes all kinds of problems on both ends of the leash!

urealistic expectations of dog behavior.

Not to mention unrealistic expectations of chicken owner behavior!​

What a fantastic point! I am going to steal that when folks give me a hard time about controlling my dog.

I've always thought that before people are allowed to have kids they should raise a dog. And if the dog is unruly, won't behave, jumps all over you, doesn't come when called, etc - then, they shouldn't get a kid license.
Have you ever noticed how people's dogs and their kids are very similar?

My kids drool and fart a bit, but at least they don't sniff butts or drink out of the toilet.
