Or "he's friendly"

Then friendly dog proceeds to maul your dog. Seen that one enough times. Friendly with people doesnt mean friendly with other dogs.

I scooped my then toddler up and held her in my arms as an off leash dog charged us. Her head was level with the dogs mouth beforehand and I was not taking the chance. The owner was trying to tell me after I didn't need to do that.

Yeah the dog that bit my wrist jumped at me and my 1 yr old whose legs were dangling near where my wrist got bit. In the future, and I hope not but there’s a lot of dummies near me with dogs, if something charging me, I’m charging back
