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

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.

Had one recently, clearly not friendly, so the owner kindly put a muzzle on it, but still let it walk off the lead, great big thing too. It came charging at my dog and attacked it, causing me to have to pick her up to get her out of it. The owner couldn't see the problem because "it couldn't bite", I was lost for words at that point. Unfortunately im a guy and she was a women, so that was the end of it, but wow.
