How do we stop it from happening?

I have had a pit bull -- yeah a little American Pitt Bull Terrier -- crash through a door and attack Arwen and I as we were walking down the street. Similar to what happened here.

The dog was not left in a shoddily fenced yard. The dog did not pull up its tether. It was not left to roam the neighborhood at will.

Luckily we were able to avoid injuries in my incident, and I figured no harm no foul. It did not go into any newspapers or police reports.

But how do you go about making people be responsible with their dogs? How do you go about reducing the number of incidents/tragedies?
