as for practical matters, day in and day out, here in the west where its a nom to keep dogs as house pet, we keep listening to stories like a neighbour been biten by neighbour's dog, a small baby  who was unattended in a pub, eaten up by a customer's dog, a woman's face attacked by a dog later needing full face plastic surgery,etc. the beastly part of dog is something one has to be aware of. most restaurants, shops and public places have bold notice now' No Dogs please except Guide Dogs' etc which is th eresult of such experiences.

hence there seems to be clear wisdom in this stance of the prophet sws.however it does not at all lead to any 'haram' rule of forbiddence. people must use their minds and decide according to the needs and possible harms. dogs can be very useful for blind people for example, helping elderly and disabled people around, guarding houses, for outdoor games with children with their trainers and guides etc.[/quote]
