Whew, I'm glad that I was alone.<BR/><BR/>I agree that it's unbelievable how people treat their dogs. If the guy had actually hit the dog in front of me, was there anyone that I could've reported him to? I don't know.<BR/><BR/>I credit my dog trainer with me not getting bitten.

So many of them make the dog cower in fear before them and then the dogs act aggressively toward everyone else. It seems to give the owner's a sense of pleasure to know they are the only ones who can "control" the dog.<BR/><BR/>Glad the day ended without anyone getting injured.

I'm glad you made it out without getting bitten, and hopefully without the dog getting beaten.<BR/><BR/>I had a similar encounter when Z got attacked by a white GSD while we were running in the forest a few years back. The GSD's owner literally beat his dog off of Z with a big walking stick, and then continued to beat his dog afterwards - it was Dog_geekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12797650391128520269noreply@blogger.com
