I don't know if I mentioned that last November my husband was walking Betsy through our local churchyard, there was a young woman there disposing of her doggy do bag when her Jack Russell slipped his lead & came after Betsy, poor girl rolled over submissively & he bit her belly
meanwhile his lead wrapped around my husbands feet & he fell, hitting his face on the ground, Betsy had run off, but stayed hiding behind a gravestone (bless her) the owner of the JRT grabbed her dog & ran off leaving my husband bleeding on the floor!
Now, since then I have seen her a few times & her dog is now muzzled (I have reports that he has tried to attack other dogs before he was muzzled) She is rude, never apologises & looks at other dog owners like they are the problem.
So, yesterday I see her walking towards me & Betsy (I just happened to have my neighbours 2 year old daughter with me also) her dog was muzzled & on a long lead, I tightened Betsy's lead up, held the child's hand & stood back to let her & her freaking dog pass, she on the other hand didn't tighten up the lead & the JRT lunged at Betsy, while wrapping it's lead around me & knocking the child over!! I was steaming at this point & lost it, started shreeking at her, to which she replies 'well, he has a muzzle!' Like that makes a difference!! Just because her dog wears a muzzle doesn't give him carte blanche to run over & terrorise my dog!!!!! I'm hoping my outburst may make her think twice about her behaviour (at the end of the day she's in charge of the dog, so I have to blame her, not him) Rant over - phew!!!
