One dog can be really nice. Two dogs can get into trouble. Three plus dogs can do a lot of harm.
Now, if I know the dog, or at least know it belongs in the neighborhood, I'll chase it off if I think that is necessary. Some other dogs from a little further away will wander this way once every year or so. A couple of shots from a .22 usually sends them scurrying home without problem.
What happens every couple of years is a rash of dogs being dropped off on the side of a quiet country road (ie: just down the road from our property). I know these dogs don't belong. It's not their fault that there loser owners can't face the responsibilities they accepted. These dogs also get chased off, but if they don't stay gone, sometimes other actions are necessary. I don't really like killing things. I like life and have a respect for the Creator of life. I will kill, but I prefer to take other actions.
That being said, I don't like wandering dogs. In northeastern MN where we came from, there were no wandering dogs. Wolves and coyotes made fairly short work of them. Around here we only occasionally have problems with wandering dogs. It is amazing the kind of trouble that a group of dogs can get into.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
