[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Jogging this morning, a dog owner wasn't paying attention or controlling their dog with a tight leash, and their bigass dog jumped on me and put their jaw on my arm (no puncture, thankfully).

Furthermore, when I told the owner "control your damn dog" they attempted to blame me by saying I "startled" it, on a very public and very well-trafficked area.

I constantly see people with their dogs off leash, on waterfront areas where there are signs saying dogs must be on leashes. People jogging with their dogs on the Mt. Vernon Trail off leash.

Next time I see your dog running freely, whether it jumps on me or not, I'm going to pepper spray it. If it touches me, I'll pepper spray it. Your dog, your responsibility. I'm fed up with it. I know there are a lot of really great, really considerate dog owners, but too many of you are unbelievably selfish and should never be responsible for a dog.

Your dog, your responsibility. Period.

I would have kicked that dog in the jaw. Hard. Why didn't you?[/quote]

It's kind of hard to kick the dog's jaw when it's on my arm. I'm just not that flexible. The dog released pretty quickly, due I guess to some combination of me pulling away, the owner tightening her long leash, and the dog realizing that I'm probably not a threat.

There are so many dogs in Alexandria, I'll now jog with pepper spray in my hand. I prefer to jog hands free, but asshole dog owners don't make it possible. [/quote]
