[quote=Anonymous]On one hand - absolutely these dogs should not be running up to children on a playground. That's totally unacceptable. As you note, you have no way of knowing if a dog is dangerous, but even beyond that, a kid could be scared of dogs or allergic to dogs. Those owners are behaving in a crappy way. On the other hand - there's the question of what I would actually do in the moment, which is tougher. If my kid did have an allergy of a fear, I would say so. Something like "please leash your dog and keep him away from my child - he's allergic!" If the dog is a pit bull (even a friendly one) or is jumping, I would put myself between the dog and my child (or pick up my child, depending on the circumstance) and say "please leash your dog and keep him away from my child." But honestly, if it was just like a friendly golden retriever sniffing around, I'd roll my eyes internally and let it go. [/quote]
