b118 (7.12-1.2024): he won't bite

“he won’t bite” [i]

by imnotso sure asyou
 
angry dog shows teeth
barks (with all his might)
annoyed-owner (seethes), then says curtly: 

“he won’t bite”

·       when a dog barks at me, i prepare to defend myself.

·       when an ignorant dog-owner says “he won’t bite” i take it with a grain of salt.  many times, i’ve responded: “maybe you know that, but i don’t know that.”

·       some neighborhood dog-owners have invisible ‘electric’ fences set-up, as if a passer-by should ‘know’ that the dog won’t stray beyond a certain point.
 

owners: we don’t hate your dog.  

you, on the other hand…
