This happened to me a few days ago, We were taking a walk and this guy who was jogging with his mut unleashed (don't know what kid of dog it was but it was BIG) It ran towards us from across the street and my neice freaked out. I grabbed Gus and stood in front of my neice who was in the stroller. The stupid owner of the dog was laughing. I was so mad. I called him a few choiced words and he just laughed again, got his dog and continued with his jog.

Why do people like this own pets, couldn't she have gone to a dog run??AAAAGGHHHHH
This is why I've started to carry pepper spray when I walk Syd. If the owner can't get their dog off of you when you ask them to...they they deserve it. I don't know what the laws are like where you live...but if it had happened here...the person would have gotten a fine for having the dogs off a leash and another for not having them licensed (which I'm assuming that she didn't). I wouldn't hesitate for a second to call the police if something like that happens again.

Ahhhh...I just read this one and it made me even madder. :mad: Why do people act like that. If that dog was actually trying to hurt your neice or Gus...he wouldn't have been laughing b/c I'm sure you would have kicked the crap out of that dog. I think you should have called the police on that one too!

Does pepper spray work on dogs??? Had I called the police, she definitely would have gotten a ticket, but the kicker is that I had MY dog with ME to therefore I would have gotten a ticket also. The difference though is that my 2.5lb dog was leashed and on my lap and her 100lb dogs were roaming free.

I haven't had to try my pepper spray out yet...and hopefully I never will. But I think that mailmen carry that for dogs...so I assume it works.

What would you have gotten a ticket for? Not licensed? You weren't doing anything wrong!

It is bad dog owners like that they cause us to loose the rights of our dogs allowed in the parks. Our town is passing a law forbidding ANY dogs in our local parks. It will be a sad situation in the future if this happens. What about the larger dogs? Where will they be able to go? I found this out from a friend of mine that has a larger dog that she runs with - on a lead. And the park has a new sign up the other day when she went for her run - the sign read - NO DOGS ALLOWED! Her dog loves to run with her. I felt so bad for them.

We were in a children's playground, not just a regular park area, so no dogs allowed!

I absolutely agree! Believe it or not, not everyone is a "dog person". :eek: (I know- it must be some sort of a genetic defect or something!!) One of the (many) reasons I wanted a yorkie was because I can't stand it when large dogs jump up on me. Not to mention that, considering yorkies are hypoallergenic (sp?), you could be allergic to dogs. What if they knocked you over?! Then to act like it's nothing when you tell her to get her dogs- amazing!! I can't believe someone would be so inconsiderate.

This is why I carry pepper spray. It works and will not harm the dogs.

I completely agree. I don't let any of our dogs, big or small get close to someone unless they approach us first. Even when Reagan and I go into Petsmart she doesn't get to meet any new people unless they want to. I'm the same way with our cats if anyone comes into our house. I'll keep them any from the company and that's even in our/their(the cats) own house.

SHAME ON HER! :mad:

that would definately had been a danger if i had been there with buckeye. and the problem would not have been totally their dogs. part of it would have been buckeye . he would have agitated the bigger dogs into a fight. but the difference is buckeye would have been leashed.

typerk 07-14-2005 11:45 AM
Unfortunately this is how I think most pet owners are. I never expect anyone to clean up after their dog and I never expect a dog to be on a least at a public place.

I have never understood why people who do not keep their dogs on a leash or away from other dogs such as in your case seem to think it is others with the problem. So many times at the park near our house which is "on leash only" park I see people letting their dogs loose and then getting upset with the owners that have their dogs properly leashed. Because their dog is running around jumping on another people and being a nuisance.

The other weekend on Canada Day I took Daisy to the park on her harness and there were at least 2 other dogs running around that would be jumping on people and running all over, there were a couple hundred people there and small children. I had to keep picking Daisy up and holding her as these dogs kept coming around. Finally one of the owners called her dog back and rolled her eyes at me for picking up my dog away from her's like I was the one with the problem. GRRRRRRRRR
