People crossing the parking lot without paying any attention whatsoever to cars. People not holding the door for their family once they are let in by someone in the front.[/quote] I have a kid who is terrified of dogs and we've taken to asking dog owners to shorten leashes when they are walking on sidewalks with a long, slack leash. They'll even see my DD is hesitant and say "oh he's very friendly!" but not shorten the leash or do anything to show they have control over the dog. You should have to pass a test on dog etiquette before you adopt one. [/quote] If the dog is on leash, they are complying with the law and have the right to be on the sidewalk just like your family. Pick up your daughter if she's that scared, or cross to the other side. [/quote] NP. No, you shorten the damn leash![/quote] The dog is on leash. That’s all that’s necessary. [/quote] And I'm sure you wonder why we bash horrible dog owners like you. [/quote] My dog is on leash, walking quietly next to me. Your child is the one turning red, flipping out, screaming. Who’s misbehaving again?[/quote] Not only are you a horrible person for thinking your dog is more important than a child, you're also making shit up. Nowhere did PP say "turning red, flipping out, screaming," but how would you make your nonexistent point without making shit up. You are the assh0le, how and forever, and are not mentaly stable enough to have a dog.[/quote] My dog is just existing in space, as is his right. If your child isn’t that upset, why on earth are you making demands of strangers? [/quote] Why did you feel the need to make stuff up to bolster your argument that your dog is just existing in space? Why are you oblivious to the fact that many children are afraid of dogs? Why do you think your dog is more important than a child? Why are you such a shit human that you are taking pride in upsetting a child? So many questions. Also, it's the law. THAT'S WHY.[/quote] A dog on leash is the law. I comply with the law. I don’t use a retractable leash. It’s not my problem that your child has an irrational fear. Seek help because dogs are everywhere and they’re not going anywhere. [/quote] If your dog bites someone because you have have failed to properly secure him, you will be held liable. I’m not sure you understand how deranged you sound putting dog above children. You are a lunatic. [/quote] Not just biting. If your dog (or their long, slack leash) trips someone, or causes them to move into traffic where they get hit by a car, you could be found liable. Especially if it's a child. It's reasonable for a child to back away from a dog on a slack leash who is approaching them -- kids are closer in height to dogs and to a great degree their fear of dogs is just a rational recognition that it's an animal with teeth and claws who in some cases is their size or bigger. So maybe you don't care that your wandering dog might result in a kid falling off the curb and smacking his head or jumping in front of an oncoming vehicle, because you are a horrible person who doesn't care about the well being of children. Okay. But trust me when I tell you that those parents are going to sue the $hit out of you and your "my dog is just occupying space, it's that dead kid's fault for being afraid of an animal he's never met before that I was doing nothing to keep under my control" schtick is not going to go over great with most juries. Enjoy![/quote]
