I am glad everything was alright. It is such a good thing you had her on a leash so she didn't get scared and bolt. That is what would worry me the most about having mine follow off-leash. I am sorry the other lady was rude, but I am sure she was also upset that her dogs were loose, they can get run over, too. My six can be like a tiny pack, when one barks, they all run and bark. I know they are little, but if they were bigger, I am sure they would act the same (but look scary instead of cute)
