[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was out walking in my neighborhood today with my 9 year old daughter when a dog came running towards us. I am not sure what kind of dog but it looked like a terrier, pit bull, or mix. The dog came very close (within less than a foot) and was barking aggressively. I tried backing away and yelling ‘sit’ and ‘back off’ but it kept coming closer. I was trying to stand between the dog and my daughter, who was already afraid of dogs. The dog was very focused on me so I told her to go. I think this went on for about 3 minutes but it felt a lot longer. In general, I am not afraid of dogs, but it was terrifying. Finally the a girl came and pulled the dog away. A guy followed (I assume her father) and asked me if I was ok. I was shaking and said no, I was not ok. He said that the dog had escaped and that he was so sorry (sounded sincere) and then left. I am wondering if there is any action I should take, and if so, what? My concern is that if my kids were out in the neighborhood without me and this were to happen again. The dog did not bite but maybe because I am bigger- it was super aggressive and scary. I still feel shaken up when I think of it. Any suggestions? Thanks. [/quote]

I'm sorry you were scared of a barking dog but I think you are overreacting. I would not report it.[/quote]
