How dare she!! In NYC we have leash laws that require all dogs to be on a leash while in public, at all times, regardless of size. Also, we have some dog parks that are for specific size ranges of dogs. Maybe, if you come from a small town with only one dog park, your council can designate days for certain size dogs. That way everyone gets a chance to exercise without the danger of being attacked or having small dogs together with big dogs. As for her comment about the rats, she's lucky you didn't knock some teeth out of her mouth!!
