The other thing that drives me crazy is senseless, non-stop barking. The sweet song of the hound on a scent is music to my ears, the neighbors dog that barks all day long at imaginary beings or your aunt's little 'whatever-@~*^z' that has that 100 db non-stop yap at about 18,000 Hz...well that is another story
I would've given that retarded owner an earful, and then some. Something along the lines of "If that dog ever touches me, I will own your house, all the furniture in it, your car and your first born child."
Once when I was riding my bicycle on city streets, a little spaniel bolted from its front yard -- the owner was standing right there -- and seemed to be attempting to bite my foot or ankle as I rode by. I took my foot off the pedal, raised my leg rearward and lowered the boom on the little maniac. Nailed him right at the base of his skull and away he went, tumbling in my wake. The owner yelled "Muffy!" in horror as I landed the blow then peddled merrily away, yelling back to the owner as I left, "Get a leash!"
Just so all you dog-lovers know, the dog jumped right to its feet after tumbling a few times and appeared unharmed. I actually like most dogs. It's just that so many idiotic and irresponsible owners don't control their animals that I have soured on most of the owners...
