I don't mind dogs; however, I regularly have to arrange myself between dogs and my daughter, in case they lunge.

How is that something I should need to do?

If I walked around brandishing a weapon and you had to put yourself between me and your daughter, you'd be OK with that?

My issue is with the word brandish, its making it read dramatic. You can't wave a dog around in an angry way.

You should also have your daughter walk on the non-street side of the sidewalk in case a car jumps the curb. Is that something your should need to do? Its life.
