So, I'm walking my dog last night...

No Lifer
And as I am leaving my street this woman comes around the corner with her stupid mutt...not on a leash (we have leash laws here) and her dumb dog comes running up to mine and immediately starts getting aggressive, growling and jumping up on my dog. This woman runs over and starts talking to the dog, telling it to behave, blah blah blah. The dog has no collar on, she obviously has no control over the dumb mutt and I'm getting irritated. This is the third time I've had this happen with this woman and her dog.

I said to her, "why don't you have your dog on a leash?" She didn't answer me as she was too busy trying to pull her dog off of mine. I pulled my dog away and started off around the corner when her mutt comes after my dog again, jumping up on her back and growling, fur bristling. I shouted at her dog and told it to back off and it did.

What the hell is wrong with people? :|

Next time this happens I'm really going to let this woman have it. Inconsiderate bitch. :|:|:|

Edit-Dog looks like an Akita mix. My dog is a black lab mix, she's getting old and doesn't need this shit. She's not at all aggressive and of course I actually have control of her.
 
Awww, sounds like he wants to play!

"They're not playing, son"

Seriously, just have animal control on speed dial and call them up next time it happens. When she hears you reporting her dog as a stray/unleashed she'll get the hint.
 
Next time this happens you'll do what you've done every time thus far. Come on ATOT and post about how you'll do something different next time.

Strap em on and actually report her to the proper people for not having a leash on her dog.
 
Serious post.

I wish we lived in a non-litiguous society. Everyone is so sue-happy these days.

In your case you were highly justified in drop-kicking her dog into the next zip code. But nooooooooooooooo. She'd SUE you, not only for her dog's medical bills but for her "emotional distress." :roll:

I long for the Frontier Days. Shoot first. String'em up. Did you just insult me? Smack my horse? Smack my woman? Duel at noon! Fisticuffs! Etc...
 
what is the rollover rating on your dog? does her dog have a higher rollover rating? 😛

My mom was dogsitting a friend's Husky several years back. An Akita, off the leash, came up and attacked the Husky without provocation. Poor little Husky ended up at the vet getting dozens of stitches. 🙁

As I was walking my black lab/rottie mix the other night, this little yappy bastard comes flying out of his yard (like he does almost every time) barking and growling, and like your story, not on a leash. Well, the little one probably weighs 15 lbs or so. The owner, who I have talked to before about this was doing nothing, so when he came in range, my foot slipped under his belly, and I flipped him probably a good 8-10 feet backwards onto his lawn. The owner yells out 'HEY', to which I respond 'Put your down on a leash, or the next time I'll actually have to kick him'. He started muttering about the cops and what not, so I went home and left a message for animal control, and put in a report, and will do so every time until he learns.

My dog shits bigger than that dog, but if there is a dog charging towards me/my dog, and we're under control, I feel I have the right to defend us, especially when I'm on public property.

I love dogs ... but hate so many owners. 🙁
 
The dogs I have had were almost NEVER on a leash but then they always were under my total voice control -- no problems.

My Great Dane and I live in Philly for two years -- the law there was voice control, not leash. Cops were mightily impressed. Once my Dane was a few feet in front of me and one of a bunch of approaching U of P coeds asked if there was any danger.

"Don't worry," I said, "he only attacks virgins." That broke them up.

Yeah, Bogie my Dane got me laid more than once. 😉

Look, I called her on it. I told her she should have her dog on a leash. WTF do you want me to do? Strap my .44 S&W on and just shoot her dog next time? Not a bad idea actually but unfortunately I'd probably be arrested for firing a gun within city limits and killing her stupid mutt.

If I knew where she lived I'd have called animal control that night and reported her but I don't.

I :heart: Great Danes! I wish their lifespan was longer. 🙁

Don't blame the dog blame the dog owner! I used to carry pine cones for this reason. Most toy dogs despise getting them tossed at them as well as people too! :laugh:

Pine cones? PINE CONES?!!?? 😕

Does Pine Cones = Magic Hand Grenade/Holy Hand Grenade?
 
Yeah they're badass and unlike shoes you don't come back home barefoot although most of my summer life has been spent barefoot in these woods. 😉
