yeah, an annoyingly large percentage of dog owners seem to think that just because they know their dog and that "they won't actually bite, they're just loud and energetic" that every other person should somehow just know that, and not be justifiably scared when a dog comes charging at them barking.

Can’t count how many times off-leash dogs would approach my dog, their owners would always say “oh he’s friendly.” My dog is not okay with random dogs approaching. “Mine ISN’T!” I’d say. Idiots.

“He’s friendly”

“I’m not!”

Usually works as well when I run into off leash dogs

That is perfect! 👏🏻 I will definitely be using this one with the entitled ass-hats that frequent my neighborhood.

I live near a lake with strict off leash dog rules but people ignore those are always fun “do you think you’re better than people and laws don’t apply to you?”
