[quote=Anonymous][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 [/b]while the clueless owner chatted away. 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]

[/b]wwwSounds to me that it's children misbehaving, not the dogs.[b]  You shouldn't  have called animal control, you should have contacted the parents.

As for you - go pound sand.  A bus stop is a public place. I don't have a dog, but when I get one I'll make sure to bring one just to piss people like you off.[/quote]

Why is the first PP criticizing the "clueless" dog owner for not stepping in when it was the kids who were bothering the dog, not the dog bothering the kids? Why didn't the clueless [i]parents[/i] step in & tell their kids to stop torturing the dog???[/quote]
