[Nikko's_human]

Ok, so I just have to vent. The other day I was walking Nikko, and this lady with her cocker spaniel was walking by. My Nikko is very friendly and so he started pulling towards her dog. I am always very cautious and I started pulling him away. She tells me "its ok" and brings her dog right over to mine. They start doing the doggy sniff thing and all of a sudden her dog rears on his hind legs and comes down and slaps Nikko in the face with his paw. He was about 15-20 lbs and Nikko is only 9 lbs. My baby looked stunned and instantly cowered over to me. The lady then starts laughing and tells me "I knew he was going to do that." WTF???? You know your dog was going to hurt mine and you intentionally bring him over? What is wrong with people? Thankfully Nikko was ok but what if her dog would have attacked mine severely. Would she still find it funny? Am I being overly sensitive?
