Very much this.
Getting gruffly told to keep my (enthusiastic but very well socialised) dog away from another dog who is also off the lead, despite apparently having social issues ticks me right off. Especially as Odie seems to even recognise that dogs on the lead are no-go and won’t immediately go and say hi like he does with off-lead dogs.
owners who seem to believe it's some inalienable right to let their dogs roam free and do whatever the fuck they want regardless of who is around are always the worst offenders for their dogs wrecking the shit out of all the other park users.
if it's tiny little seamus who is about the size of a half loaf of bread who likes to police the users of the park with his tiny non-threatening squeaks, it's funnier than it is frustrating. when it's an aggressive dog that "doesn't like other dogs very much" maybe don't just toss it into the middle of a giant group of other dogs already off their leads who are very much in the middle of one big play session and pull the fake shocked face when it snaps at one of them for trying to sniff its arse.
