Last week I was walking down the street with my kids, and some loose dog comes running at my youngest. I'm holding both kids' hands, so I kicked at the dog to keep it away without actually hitting the dog.
All of a sudden, its absentee owner comes out of the woodwork to threaten "if you kick my dog I'll kick you!" I just hung on to my kids and kept on walking. I would rather get kicked than let his dog do whatever it was going to do to my kid. I'm not going to stop and get in a fight with this idiot, but it was simply astounding that he expected random people on the street to care more about his dog than he does.
I love dogs but fully support you on this one.
No you're right. You don't know that dog's temperment. Your kids are more important than a loose dog.
