What should be done with vicious dogs like this? Or for that matter its owner?

Last Friday I went to Mesa View Middle School to photograph the road currently under construction leading up to the school. To reach the school I had to walk down a service road past a mobile home park.

As I passed the first mobile, this huge pit bull charged under a chain link fence and lunged at me. Fortunately, he was tied to a thick and strong chain. And fortunately, I was walking on the outer edge of the road out of the reach of his deadly jaws.

He charged so hard that when he hit the end of his chain it whipped him around. Had he broken free, I doubt I would be writing this entry right now.

Just think of the possible consequences if some kid riding his bike happened to peddle too close to this vicious dog. There is no way I could have fended off, or survived an attack, much less some defenseless kid.

And this dog and his (apparent) owner live in a family mobile home park.

What do you think should be done?
