Sako is proud of his meticulously groomed lawn and flower garden. He is allergic to dogs. Every morning and evening Wyatt, a neighbor, takes Spot, her pet poodle, for a walk around the block. Invariably the dog relieves itself on Sako's property. Sako has repeatedly asked Wyatt to restrain her pet, but she laughs at him and says "Cool it! Dogs have to answer nature's call. It's good for them and

it's good for your soil.". Finally, one day Sako charges out of his house, brandishing a hand gun. "This will stop it!" he shouts. Wyatt is frightened. Sako comes closer and fires a stream of ammoniated water into Spot's face with his water pistol. The dog yelps and runs off. Wyatt sues. Sako is

b. guilty of assault and battery against Spot.
