I watched that film, which is very clear as to what happened. That dog would be dead, and it's owner would carry an ass whooping he would never forget. Why did he walk up the drive way to begin with, unless he knew what he was doing?

I have a favorite indoor house cat that slips out from time to time, but never leaves the yard.

I better not catch a stray dog in my yard. I've lost 1 other favorite cat to a pack of dogs in my yard.... it won't happen again.

Kill my cat, and I'm damned sure gonna kill your dog.
