No dog should be out without a leash, big or small. This is not about what type of dog is more annoying. It's about being attacked by a dog that is not under control and then being verbally abused by the owner. He reacted to the upset owner? Well, he needs to grow up and clean up his mouth and take responsibility for his actions and the actions of his dog! Being verbally abusive is just a cover for his irresponsible behavior. |
There are no two sides to this story. If your dog is illegally off -leash; AND your dog is chasing strangers down the street; AND you have no recall whatsoever - your dog should NOT be off leash. Period. Big or small - doesn't matter.
Why is it some people just can't get that?
When your dog is charging at me 100 miles an hour; I can't wait around to see if it's friendly. I've got to pick up my 5 lb dog - JUST IN CASE. Snap judgements are going to be made for safety sake.
It's ridiculous how often it happens.
