You were very lucky! Glad to hear no one was hurt. Missy is so cute! I think alot of people can't handle it and don't know what to say so they try to be funny, and end up being jerks!
It's gotten so bad here, I even check my fenced yard before I let my Yorkies out. One has to be overly protective with the smaller dogs bc they can trigger a prey drive in larger dogs. I'm going to order some pepper spray and I already ordered a pet stroller from Dog.com $29.00 on clearance. I don't care if people laugh, at least we'll be safe. After reading about so many situations here on YT, I'll be making at lot of decisions that normally I wouldn't think about doing ie: When in Petsmart, if there are too many big dogs, I'll wait till they leave before I shop. If there are big dogs at the groomers, I will cancel and reschedule or do it myself at home. If there are dogs running loose in the park, I won't get out of the car. I will never put my dogs in a situation where they could possibly be hurt or killed. I will never assume that people with big dogs on a leash have total control of their dog, regardless of what they say! |
