DOG OWNER ATTACKED WITH TENNIS BALL THROWER

Deputies in Alachua County, Florida, arrested a man for attacking a dog owner with a plastic tennis ball launcher. Thomas Phillips was walking his dog without a leash when his dog ran up and began attacking another dog who was on a leash. That dog pulled out of its collar and leash, at which point that dog’s owner swung the now-empty leash at Phillips’s dog to get it to let go. Phillips grabbed his tennis ball thrower and hit the other man across the forehead. The attack left the other dog owner with a cut and swelling, but no serious injuries.
* Dogs, remember: always keep your owner on a leash!
* Justice was… served.
* Such bad manners! The dogs didn’t even do the introductory butt-smelling routine.
* If both these dogs had flown United, this never would have been a problem.
* Could have been worse. The guy with the tennis ball launcher could have been into bowling.
