there's a couple who have an 8 month border collie type pup that has no recall so they keep it on one of those ridiculous 15m rope leads and they're exactly the same all the way down to the rope burn under the knee.
annoyingly benny has ingratiated himself on their dog and the owners so they always make a beeline for us.
i'm happy for them to play but every single time I end up within reach of the rope I'll move back then benny will run behind me and then their dog drags them towards us shortening the distance allowing their dog to run behind me. or they'll come super close with the rope held at a shortened length only for the dog to pull it out of their grip so it's at full extension again. i spend so much time backing away from them i feel like i'm on the run
they seem like nice people so i'm loathe to give them shit for it but ffs have a single fucking ounce of self-awareness please.

yesterday someone brought their dog over to play with mine except they didn't let it off the extendy lead. It was very boisterous, too much really, my pup was trying to run behind me so their dog kept circling around too. The extendy lead they were using was like unsheathed braided metal cable so the outcome of this is a nice big rope burn across both my legs just under the knees. It stripped the skin right off.
