[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dogs don't belong at a bus stop, unless it is a service animal. Bus stops are for people. [/quote]

To those of you who can predict what dogs can do, you are wrong. A mom thought it was safe to bring her dog to the bus stop. These folks lived accross the street from the bus stop. No need whatsoever to bring the dog. [b]Well, one day, several of the kids at the bus stop started taunting the dog while the clueless owner chatted away.[/b] When my daughter arrived at the bus stop, the dog was so riled up, he lunged at something dangling from her backpack and missed and bit her on the arm. She landed flat on her butt on the concrete sidewalk. I also had another child who was terrified of dogs. Rightfully so, she had been bitten by one as a toddler. I was so scared that if she saw this dog again, she would launch into panic mode and race out into  the street and I let the owner know that. The owner promised that she would not bring the dog to the bus stop after that and promised to get obedience training. She did neither and her husband was a real you know what to me. I called animal control and that put an end to it. It is NOT cute to bring your dog to the bus stop. It is dangerous. Kids wear dangly things on their backpacks that can attract dogs and they shouldn't have to adjust for a dog owner.[/quote]

The fact that you don't see this as the main problem speaks loud and clear about what type of person you are. Taunting an animal is abusive and wrong. I cannot believe none of you holier than thou parents (read: "clueless") at the bus stop didn't stop "chatting away" to correct your bratty kids. I bet it's because your kid NEVER does anything wrong, right? It's always the teacher's fault, the neighbor kid's fault, the cousin's fault, the dog's fault and anyone else who interacts with you and your type. God help the people who have to put up with you! You're a freaking nightmare!

As for dogs at the bus stop they're fine as long as they are well behaved. If it's a problem dog then talk to the owner in a reasonable and respectful manner. It's all about how you handle yourself, people. Proper and respectful social interaction is not rocket science! Ask politely and normal people will respond politely. Calling Animal Control right away is the pathetic and reactionary response that is done by only the socially incompetent.

This coddling of kids is pathetic. No wonder recent generations can't handle themselves. Mommy and Daddy always took care of it all...kids need to get a few skinned knees to grow. No wonder colleges have to develop programs to get parents away from their kids! (Before you DCUM nut jobs flame me....I'm obviously talking about reasonably behaved dogs. Dogs who are on a leash and behaving themselves. Not out of control dogs...)[/quote]
