You're yelling out please leash your dogs, your kids are already in tears, you cannot go out to many public places because of unleashed dogs?
Not the OP but if you're kid has survived a dog attack then please feel free to judge.
I'm the PP. I was attacked by a dog once when I was a child. I don't remember crying whenever I saw an unleashed dog, or my parents yelling at people and I still went to the local parks were there were dogs unleashed.
I'm not judging the person who is yelling, has children crying and refusing to go to places were there are unleashed dogs but it seems a bit over the top, excessive.
Ugh. Are you this awful about all victims of violent attacks?

By the way, I can't remember the last time a dog jumped up on me.
Are your pockets stuffed with food OP? That might be the reason for dogs jumping up on you.
I've had a midget dog bite me so I had to go to the hospital. My neighbor's midget dog shredded part of my skirt jumping on me as I was getting ready to go to work. Your small dog isn't special to me so keep it off of me and anyone else not in your family.

Dog owners who buy expensive designer dogs are, for the most part, attention wh*res. They really want the attention for themselves. The next time someone you know buys one, ignore the dog and watch how the owners act.

In DC there is not a single place to walk your dog off leash. It's basically the only city in the country that doesn't offer a way to exercise your dogs without being attached to a lead. (there are plenty of crappy little dog parks - but that is not what I am talking about.)

How do you know your son is allergic? If you hate a type of animal presumably it's never been in your house?
Because he has been tested by allergist. He is allergic to dogs and cats , and had reactions to both. Unfortunately, dog owners are usually pretty self centered and assume their dogs are supposed to be everywhere. They don’t have much concern for others
Gotcha. I'm not familiar with allergy testing. Good luck to you.
That said, I'm going to keep taking my leashed, trained dog to places she is allowed.
Yep, most dog owners are sociopaths. Allergic kid, who the f cares. But my doggooooo.
Places she is allowed = almost entirely outdoor places. That is not putting anyone's allergies at risk.

Second pp, are you serious?
First pp, good on you for protecting your son. I have a severe allergy and it makes like sooo hard because people take their dogs everywhere and every place had a support dog. I am so grateful I already went to college before the proliferation of support animals and dogs everywhere.

dogs aren't stupid. Humans who allow this are.
You are correct. It is dog owners who I have a problem with most of the time, as dogs themselves are not responsible mostly for behavior and where they’re taken
What's hilarious is to see dog owners scold their dogs when recall fails. Like it's their fault.
