Dangerous Dogs

All the scaggy big issue types trotting around town on a bike with a stafford in tow are biddable...its not difficult to work out.
 
I had to warn a guy the other day who was walking some big ugly brute of a dog, off the lead, possibly an XL Bully. My dog is ON a lead, for a reason, he is nervous around some other male dogs and can lash out or even turn and run, so I take no chances. I get the usual "don't worry he's just a softie" as they approach me while I'm stood trying to reassure my dog who should be clearly seen as fucking terrified. I had to almost plead with him to put it on a lead and sure as eggs is eggs, his dog responds as mine gives out a warning as we walk past.

Happened again yesterday with a woman and her Alsatian. And then there's the two fellas who know my dog reacts to theirs but intentionally do fuck all to get past quickly.

The unwritten rule is if you see a dog on a lead, then put yours on one.

Had same on coronation Park the other morning. 2 lads with a large dog that was off lead and coming over to mine, who I know will go for it. Told them and their dog no and the lad called his mutt back and it went instantly. They were decent lads and the dog was a beauty but it could've turned out a whole lot different if the dog was so well trained.

It’s the first time I’ve had a nervous dog, so it’s been new to me to have to learn how to communicate that fact to other owners. Most are fine but you’d think with all the discussions that XL owners would be a bit more aware, however I reckon this chap I encountered was letting his run around free to “prove a point” it was harmless. That’s just dangerous but what can you do.
