I know you think your dog is well behaved,

A little frisky maybe, but not a threat,
But I don't know your dog,
And so don't make the decision for me.
Many before you have thought the same,
And then when the dog bites a hand.
What chance has my child,
If your dog's mood should change today?
So all you owners of dogs out there,
Spare a thought for those who scare,
Control your dogs in public,
Secure them in your homes,
Then we won't demand laws
To muzzle your dogs everywhere.
