While on a job at a customer's house yesterday, their dog...

jammed its snout into my crotch so hard that it lifted me from the floor.

I pushed the creature away, and the owner waved a hand and said "oh, he's fine."

Then it rammed its nose into my ass even harder.


At what point am I justified in pepper-spraying the owner?

I work at a vet clinic and am very familiar with the experience. It's especially startling when you're bent over the microscope and have your back turned to the passing dog.

I looked down at him and said - keep growling Oscar, they're about eighteen inches higher than when you started.

My buddy started laughing and the dog calmed down. I calmed down about 3-4 days later.
