[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DP. Luring someone else’s dog to you with a treat is bizarre at best and threatening at worst.  What was he going to do, force her to leash the dog?[/quote]

Yes. That’s exactly the point. [/quote]

No, he was trying to scare her, to punish her for ignoring the leash laws.  (While video recording her.)

It worked, too.[/quote]

The implication was that the treat was poisoned. Anyone with a dog knows that there are sickos that do this (and it’s why I trained my dog to never take a treat unless commanded and why I keep my dog on leash). [/quote]

Please explain the "implication...that the treat was poisoned".  I've read this a lot in these comments, with absolutely nothing to support it.  Are poisoned dog treats some kind of thing? [/quote]

+1. Why would anybody’s 1st or even 9th thought be, here’s someone who must have poison dog treats in his pocket? How weird that pp’s mind goes there. [/quote]

Either poisoned treats or regular treats for stealing a dog. Normal non-dog-owning people don't keep treats in their pockets "just in case".[/quote]

People who walk a lot, especially people who walk in parks -- which includes a whole lot of people in NYC,  indeed, have plans for dealing with unleashed dogs, among other delights of city living.  Many quite "normal" people would have dog treats.  Equally "normal" but less kind/more efficient people would carry pepper spray -- a more multi-purpose option.
It's amazing how many people who probably glide from home to car and back again have So much expertise about what is supposedly "normal" in a setting they're not familiar with. [/quote]

Do they normally preface an innocent act by saying "you're not going to like it"?  [/quote]

Let's try!

"You're not going to like it, but you have to take your shoes off when you go through security."
"You're not going to like it, but you will need to pay taxes on that lottery money."
"You're not going to like it, but you can't play loud music on the beach."[/quote]

None of which are even remotely as harmless and not annoying as giving a dog a treat.  Admit you're wrong so we can move on.  I have work to do.[/quote]
