Why bring three HUGE barking and howling dogs to preschool drop off?!

[Anonymous]

Sorry, OP.

My story: a guy brought a dog into a fenced in baby playground and let it run around. And obviously yes, there are tons of signs everywhere saying park for under five year olds, no dogs, etc etc. He seemed to think it was his personal dog park.

Some people are just insanely entitled.

A barking dog is an untrained dog. And an unhappy dog. One word or one hand signal and there should be instant silence from those dogs.

OP, I don’t get where all the hate is coming from. Large dogs barking and lunging at the car window towards kids who are smaller than the dogs is scary for 2 and 3 year olds. It’s a duck move to have loud, large dogs barking at 2 year olds at preschool drop off. I think some of these responders don’t have kids

I hate dogs. They are disgusting.

DO you honestly think a person leaving their dogs in their own car is the same thing as bringing a dog to a playground for children?

He left them in the car? I’m not sure what the issue is?

Agree.

Yes I am laughing at the drama here.

My preschooler would love this.

Np. This sounds different if the dogs were only in the car. Maybe he had ti take the dogs somewhere after he dropped his kid off. You want him to waste fuel by driving back home, get the dogs agter he dropped his kid off?

Training takes time. You don't know this guy or his dogs. My dog and I are in classes together but he isn't perfect yet. That does not mean he is unhappy or totally untrained. Training takes years.

All the little kids were sobbing and clinging on to their parents, the teachers were overwhelmed and this dick just gets back in his car as if nothing happened and he did nothing wrong.

Yes, everyone emailed the father including the school but my question is what kind of a person does something like that to very little kids? I have dogs and I know what sets them off so he had to know his dogs were going to bark and howl. And who parks in the clearly marked red zone for drop off? We all park and walk our kids in.

My kid was fine but some of the other little ones were clearly terrified.

Your own dogs never bark??

Most kids have dogs at home, and those dogs bark.

Clearly he was taking the dogs somewhere afterward and parked in the red zone so he could do dropoff quickly and not leave his crazy dogs unattended too long.

My dog is a guard dog. He is trained TO bark.

Maybe the wife was supposed to drop off the preschool kid, but her car broke down and he had to take the dogs and the kid.
Maybe he took that illegal spot in front of the school so he could get in and out quickly because he had these dogs.
Maybe he looked calm because that was all he could do while people like you were judging him.
Maybe his dad is in hospice and his marriage is falling apart and he forgot he had to take the dogs to the vet and get his kid to school and his life just sucks right now.

Maybe you could just stop judging for 5 minutes and let this go. But for some reason you have to rehash it. It’s over. Let it go.

It’s fascinating how some people contort themselves and reason to desperately try to explain away objectively bad and selfish behavior. Says a lot about you, PP. Either you are naturally contrarian or oppositional or you yourself are a selfish rule breaker who weighs in out of tangential defensiveness. Ugh.

It’s not rule breaking, bad or selfish behavior to have your dogs in your vehicle.

No one is justifying the illegal parking.
