I just got back from the park, where there are lots of dogs. Great, I like dogs, and the dogs there often have neckerchiefs or woolly jumpers and this makes me smile. Most of the dog owners are responsible, saw people picking up their dog's poo and putting anxious dogs back on leads.
BUT... I saw a small dog running around off his lead, going a bit nuts, owner standing about being all "haha, he's so high spirited". So high spirited that the dog chased a little boy and knocked him to the ground. The little boy was terrified.
What can I do in this situation? Other than shout at the owner? It made me so angry.
Dog owners, perhaps you can help...
