[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]THIS!!
I just watched the video from the news. That is not a barrier of any sort.  I feel horrible for the owner but with a dog that small running up to and on that brick ledge, it was definitely acting like a squirrel in some ways and opening itself up to danger.  I am curious what she wants besides an apology from the other owner...[/quote]

I have two 40 lb. dogs.  One is not friendly when leashed (which is all the time when we are on the street).  I have had ALL kinds of dogs come bounding up to us on leash and off leash.  Small, medium and HUGE.  I change direction, cross the street, tell the owners my dog is not friendly, to please call their dogs, etc., to AVOID the conflict.  If I can't avoid the fight, I try to break it up.  I stay within the vicinity, make sure everyone is ok, no one is bleeding, etc.

We call this the "social contract."  It would be different if the other dog and/or owner also came to some harm but that was not the case here.

What a concept, folks helping each other out instead of looking for who is to "blame" when someone's just lost their best friend.

The "social contract" applies both ways.  Freckles owner obviously blames the dog owner for Freckles' death and is now conducting a hunt for this person all over the news, with flyers and on the internet.  What exactly does she expect from him?  Seems she is just as much to blame and even more since Freckles had made it a habit to antagonize every living creature passing by her property and she let him.  Biggest non-news ever.

Sure, maybe a "Sorry for your loss" would have been nice but judging from the hysteria displayed by Freckle's Mom now after the event, I'm not sure I would have stuck around after it happened.  The woman sounds nuts.[/quote]
