[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is both allergic and afraid of dogs (he has been bitten twice by off leash dogs in parks because he runs away from them so they chase him, and in 2 cases, bite him. Doesn’t help when the owner tells him not to run and the dog will stop! Like seriously?anyways I digress). Once we were at the bus stop and a dog licked his face and we had to go home so he could wash his face and take some Zyrtec because his face was covered in hives. It was not the end of the world but he was late for school and also it was disgusting (and, for him, scary). Luckily that person didn’t bring the dog back to the bus stop. [/quote]

Are you supervising your child?  This sounds like it happens pretty often that you need to supervise your child and teach them how to interact with dogs, i.e. walk away and not engage the dog.[/quote]

You mean when my child is running around at a fenced in playground and someone comes in with their off leash dog and the dog starts chasing him? And I yell and run and grab my kid while the dog owner shouts that he is friendly and if the kids don’t run the dog won’t chase them? We are not engaging the dog FFS. And at the bus stop he was sitting there and scraping a stick along the sidewalk and a woman walked up with her dog and the dog was sniffing around and then sniffed/ licked my sons face. Which, no, I did not anticipate. I anticipated that if someone was bringing their dog (leashed) to the bus stop they’d keep them away from kids faces, especially kids who were showing zero interest in the dog. But, no, she let the leash go long while she chatted I guess. But keep blaming my kid for your lack of awareness regarding how unwelcome your dog is.[/quote]
