Lived in Suburbia eons ago when I was a teen, a neighbor's dog (German Shorthair Pointer) walked up to me as I sat reading on my front step, and offered to eat me alive. I told it it was welcome to start a fight, and I'd end it; It decided I wasn't afraid of it enough and left.
My sister went to the same school as the owner's daughter, and told me the daughter kept complaining that someone had shot that dog AGAIN, somehow I didn't find this a shock... I suspect each time the dog healed up, the owner let it roam the neighborhood again. In addition to that obvious negligence, I suspect the dog wasn't well-treated at all, but its' behavior and being loose in that neighborhood were WHY it was getting perforated regularly, in a suburban setting. No idea what ended up happening to that dog. It never offered me violence again, at least.
I love strays, provided they are nice; I live in the same suburban area right now, so I don't see many. When I lived out in the boonies 10+ years ago, we had too many pets dropped off out in the country near us, almost all became coyote food. I don't think much of people who do that. Only had two cats make it to us, we'd feed them to keep the pack rat population down (Those things are ANNOYING!) as well as mice etc.; And one dog, who was let loose off his lead by an IDIOT neighbor and managed to run out in front of a motorcycle on the highway, and get killed. No humans were hurt, fortunately, the driver laid the bike down - Smart. But STUPID on the neighbor's part. You have to keep dogs & cats away from Coyotes or they're toast...
