I'm glad Haruka is okay! Just reading that, scared me to bits. I have come into three near encounters just like that, except the dogs were off leash and the owners were at least a block away. I've had cats chase me and Teddy, and two German Sheperds chased us down the block. Teddy freaked out. I picked him up because the german sheperd jumped on top of me. I'm trying to block the dog from getting Teddy, Teddy is barking like crazy, it was ridiculous. I screamed, "GET YOUR DOG. PLEASE, JUST GET YOUR DOG." Owner sees all of this happening and walks calmly to me. Never calling the dog to come or anything. I live in a city where leashes are required, and off leash in the public is against the law. I said to myself the next time something like this happens, I am calling the police. It's not right that people can be so careless.
Anyways, I say all of this to tell you I'm so glad this incident didn't turn into anything more. Thank goodness she's alright.
