In my part of the world, goofballs don't shoot dogs on the street, much less in our front yards. I live in Plano...BTW...the exact neighborhood you describe. If anything, there is less chance some nut is going to start flipping out and firing rounds at my dog. That Barney Fife would be full of holes in my front yard with that same manuever!
Actually, it really appears that you're just reinforcing Rex's point. If there weren't in fact different expectations where he lives, than where you live, you be wouldn't be having this discussion at all. And while I agree that I don't live in a place where people run around shooting dogs, that's really an extreme action, an outlier. If you look to more common situations, the differences are likely to become more pronounced. Such as VM volunteering an hour of his time to try and get a stray back to it's home. That may be a normal reaction upon seeing a stray dog where he lives. Where I live I believe most people would simply ignore it.
