Oooo...Oh, I just LOVE that, "I'm 25." Ooooh, aren't you cool, dude!? And I'm 22, what's in an age? My dog is always under control and on a leash. <br /><br />There was an incident in my neighborhood a few weeks back - the dog saw us from two houses away and CHARGED at us. She seemed mostly curious and playful when she got close, still a puppy mentality, but the charging scared me to death and the on-leash/off-leash dynamic makes me very nervous. My boy would defend himself if he felt threatened. I was yelling, and yelling, and yelling at this dog to go away and there were several people outside who HAD TO hear me... nobody helped me. I have no idea whose dog it was, but all the neighborhood kids seemed to know her.Courtenayhttp://www.facebook.com/edwardbullterriernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6517697125324333905.post-37661338079516728002013-12-16T08:52:48.914-08:002013-12-16T08:52:48.914-08:00I am so sorry for Luke and am very glad he is ok.....I am so sorry for Luke and am very glad he is ok..it could easily have turned out differently with owners such as these that care not one iota for their dogs safety nor anyone else's. I have to admit I have a spoo that has been much harder to train than my last so I am much more careful about taking him out and about and Always on leash and with a harness. But these fools just did not care..shameful!

I recen...My heart was pounding as I read your blog! I recently met another dog owner who belongs in the same category as those awful people you had the encounter with. He and my dog were off-leash and they came around a blind corner, from the opposite direction. The two dogs, startled went into defense mode and there was an altercation that lasted maybe 5 seconds. Thankfully, nothing happened but the man was kicking my spoo and yelled, "I'm gonna kill your dog!" His aggressive shepherd mix is about the same size as my spoo. That was enough for me to not walk in that wooded park any longer. A friend said that if I don't go back, then that man wins. When my spoo is being kicked and his life threatened, then that man can win all he wants. What kind of dog owner threatens to kill another dog, let alone kick a dog? <br /><br />I'm really sorry you and your spoos had to experience such belligerence. Some day, not that I wish it but the odds are higher with those dogs without leashes, when those dogs meet up with a car that doesn't see them and they become injured or worse, sadly those owners won't even careā¦ and that's the worst realization of it all.<br /><br />Yep, a real lack of knowledge, compassion and awareness in both our scenarios. Humans gone wrong, indeed.Nanznoreply@blogger.com
