The same situation happened to me the other day. I was walking Watson and a couple were walking past me. The guy said to the girl, "Look, he has a rat on a leash". I was so mad, I told him "You can learn from me and put that wild boar on a leash". That shut both of them up pretty quick. I don't care how rude that was....if he was saying that about Watson. I'll always have Watson's back, cause he always has mine!!
