I can edit in sarcasm tags if you like my man. But no.
I've already posted earlier in the thread if you want to take a look at those more serious posts.
I don't condone the kicking of tiny dog defense force though, nah.

If the sight of a pug running towards you is all it takes to activate kill mode you should probably stay indoors.
The jogger obviously didn't kick the dog dog with intent to kill it. Can we stop pretending the guy had murder in mind?
Like this.
that doesn't change the fact that he reacted by kicking a small dog
I'd love to see the justification for this if it was a small child that ran towards him

If I saw the dog standing there and mentally prepared myself for it I would probably not kick since I do actually like and have dogs. But if I got surprised out of nowhere I would probably kick it, especially if my legs were already moving in mid jog.

Any little ankle biter that comes around me is going to get kicked. I've been bitten by two of those little shits that the owner claimed afterwards never did anything like that before.
Keep your annoying mutts on a leash!!

My apologies for not getting the sarcasm, but even still, it's pretty insensitive to post a picture like that

Why would you love to see that? What does that have to do with anything? Why do people keep bringing kids into this like it's comparable to a dog?
If I had gone after someone after they kicked my dog, she'd probably have bit me. She was easily confused.
What?

These savage monsters don't even care for their own young, what makes you think they'll spare your ankles, huh?
what new devilry is this
Right were ladies and gentlemen, you see this monster running towards you, better Adam Vinatieri it's ass or else you get your leg mauled off.
there is no room for reasonable thought processes in this thread no sir. You defend yourself at all costs regardless of the size or situation you are having to deal with.

You know there are so many people complaining about the jogger in here, but posters like this are the real damaged people.
You'd assault someone because you fucked up? That's completely childish.
Leash your dog, it won't charge anybody and most likely won't get kicked. Pet owners are almost 100% in control in this situation.
What if that pet of yours ran up to someone and bit them?
If your dog bit me, yes I will kick it off. And if you charged at me, yes I will defend myself.

Because a child and a 15lb dog pose about the same amount of threat, are about as fragile as each other, and are both living things that matter to people.
because dogs are beloved companions that for anyone that has ever owned are, basically children?
Judging by a number of posts in here, that's basically what they're suggesting what the average person would do. Lets keep it in check here. At 15lbs, you're kicking something that weighs less than the average one year old. Shit's pretty bad.

Yup. It's what side I fall on too. Dog owners, like normal people, are universally terrible.

I still have to find a child that can pass rabies.

just stop comparing dogs to children, they aint the same thing. a childs life is WAY more precious than any dogs PERIOD. if a house was burning and i could only save one i would pick the child every damn time and so would any sane individual

The dog we used to have was always on a leash, as this dog should have been, but there's no excuse for his actions.
I would have murdered him.

Should have kept her dog on a leash. Keep your dog on a fucking leash, people. No excuse not to.
HOWEVER,
The guy who kicked the dog as hard as he could and killed it is an even bigger prick. He deserves to be kicked by somebody as hard as they can over and over to see how it feels. Fucking scumbag.

Just earlier today out of nowhere I started thinking about my dog who died almost 2 years ago (old age) and my eyes got soaked against my will. Again - almost two years afterwards, and because of natural death. Basically, I feel terrible for the dog and the owner 
Running after a pug to kick him, WTF. Piece of crap person.

Or can run as fast as an adult and tear up your ankle. If Chucky came at me I would definitely kick it.
If you're incapable of stopping a 10 pound dog from harming you, I don't think you'd fair too well against a pissed off dog owner who just had his or her dog kicked.

Any child that contracts rabies. Unless rabies can't be passed from person to person. I don't really know. You're also implying that there is no disease or infection a random child could give you.

In her defense, there was maybe food somewhere.
My girlfriend is an art teacher at an elementary school.
Illness I've contracted from dogs: 0
Illness I've contracted from kids through her: more times than I can count.
good for you and your hypotheticals
I think people need to understand this mentality isn't universal in the world. It's a very western way of thinking.
Not everyone in the world values a dog or cat or any pet in the same stature as their own children.
Well that's her story. His is different and there were only 2 people there.
Regardless this guy should get kicked. That dog is not a threat.

I know that a human being can pass rabies but one of the main causes is dog bites, I won't risk it, since how popular is nowadays to not vaccine your children, how will I know if people are vaccinating their dogs.

Glad to see were assuming the owner's story is true, when it's the owner more than anyone else that needs the jogger to be painted in a bad light, considering it was SHE that created the situation that killed her dog.
I've kicked the shit out of my cat at night because they are assholes and will run right in front of you, the difference being my cat is much larger than a pug and healthy. It's easy not to notice something that is 8 inches off the ground in the middle of a run that may or may not be blending in with the ground. A hit from someone that is running is also going to be of greater force on average.
I love dogs as much as the next person but jesus christ, some of you should channel your blood lust into something a little more constructive, it's straight up cringe inducing.
But it doesn't matter at this point, the rest of this thread will be posters completely avoiding the event at hand, posting puppy gifs and pics as if to question the morality of posters not calling for the jogger's head. Others will be either pea cocking saying they would severely injure someone for touching their dog or insinuating you're a sociopath if you question the story of the owner.
That's HER side of the story. His story is completely different.
I would too, but that doesn't mean I didn't love my dog more than most humans. That doesn't mean losing a dog isn't extremely painful.
I feel like kicking everyone in this thread who thinks its okay to kick a pug.
So scared of a tiny pug youd kick it away and then you think you'd stand toe to toe with me? Funny.

Watch out everybody, this clearly domesticated dog might have rabies!!!
...not to disparage anyone that lives in a place where wild rabid pugs control the parks...
So I should just let an untrained pug keep on biting me then...?
annd your point is? plenty of places in the world don't value PEOPLE as people.
in the western world, cats and dogs are family members for a shitload of people and have been companions to humans for centuries and it's more than a little screwed up when someone kicks and kills one the size of a pug for it running at him
I dunno, giving a boot to a stranger's dog might as well be giving a boot to their child in many cases. Society isn't going to assume the life of a dog is equal to that of a child, but on an individual basis... I doubt most would stand to have their dog punted and not react with some strong emotion. Justified or not.
Either way as I had initially posted.
Keep your dogs on a leash, people are cruel.

uh what the fuck?
Yeah, that's fucked up. Who kicks their own cat ffs. Scumbag.
Its a pug! Pick it up, put it down elsewhere. Although I'm starting to suspect you live in fear of your own shadow.

Yup. You wouldn't think "oh well, I shouldn't feel bad, it was a dog!" in that situation. I would have... I don't know, really, I would have acted very badly.
My dog was always walked leashed, BTW.
Big difference between your pug staring at me and your pug biting me.
I don't care if it's the smallest dog. If your dog bites me I'll get it off me. What do you expect me to do? Let it keep biting me..?
Keep up the internet tough guy act. A lot of people here are.
