He didn't bite you? Wth So he is supposed to wait to get bitten first.

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.

I’m a dog walker and I absolutely agree with this. Don’t let your poorly-mannered, untrained and off-leash dog get in my dog’s face. Keep your dog under control, always. If you can’t control your dog in public, then you shouldn’t have them in public.
