I for one completely expect a guard dog to do his or her job in protection of person/people or property whether or not the dog is on the owner's property. For example being accosted by a criminal, a rabid animal, or simply a predatory animal (such as a coyote pack) would in my opinion would make a dog a hero not a vicious dog if it should respond to the situation. When I was younger I walked a pack daily and always felt quite safe from people or animals with bad intentions. I think this bill should be more about control than location as a guard dog can do his or her job on or off of your property. You need to take into account personal as well as property protection and presence or absence of an owner. Maybe change this (g) If, whether alone or in a pack with other dogs, it bites, attacks, or preys on game animals, domestic animals, fowl or human beings when not on the owner's property and add "or when off the owner's property under the owner or custodians control."
