I didn’t take our dog as my OH was out with her,
A man with a very large Rottweiler off its lead was walking toward me and my friend , the dog came bounding towards us and I said” shouldn’t your dog be on a lead’ ,the man became very abusive and at one point I thought he was going to hit me, he was screaming in my face how ‘soft as ?? his dog was

Did his dog attack your friend's dog?
Question Author
Tilly, we didn’t have a dog with us , sorry if I made that unclear, we were simply out for a walk
I think about iluvmarge and bruno often still
Dogs are territorial & as the owner is their territory some do attack others nearby. In public dogs should be on leads!
Question Author
Tamb,I merely asked him Should his dog be on a lead’ the abuse was mind blowing
It is frightening when a large dog comes bounding up to you and, yes, he should have had more control over it. I suspect he allows his dog to run up to people because 'He only wants to play.'
You were right to speak to him and it's a pity you got such a thuggish response.

Me too Bednobs, I hope she’s okay

I’d say he was easily my age too Tilly
Bobbs, he was a moron & should be reported so as to deny him his dog.
Thank your lucky stars you weren’t a Seal, as they would be putting you and your friend down this afternoon.

All dogs should be on a lead when out in public.
Are muzzles painful for dogs? Can you get big ones that allow dogs to pant with their tongues out?
Question Author
Not sure I get the ‘seal’ and getting put down bit Nieve :0(
Bobbi, where did this happen, street, park?
I lock my dogs up whenever anyone visits; even gkids.

Thanks JJ
It was on a country road cinder path Danny used by lots of people leading one village to another about a mile long
ARE there any laws regarding dogs on leads? Or does it vary from place to place?
I'll admit to being nervous if I see unfamiliar large dogs bounding around. But if it's in the park, it may be the only place a dog can be off lead and play. We need dog parks like they have in the States...areas set aside specifically to exercise dogs.
Thanks Bobbi, I my opinion, under those cicumstances, the dog should have been on a lead.
I should have clarified and say that I do too.

Can't remember where,it was a long time ago,but I have seen such a park in England.
