yeah those are the worst. Gargamel does not do well with dogs coming at him off leash. He is OK when they are both leashed but off leash dogs he wants no part of. I have a golden who lives 3 houses down from us who has come at Mel and bitten him. He is a barker and never fail when we walk by he is in the window barking up a storm. Now Gargamel is always on guard if he is out and totally on edge.
The other day I am walking and didn't notice the owner had both his dogs out on leash up the street, I was too buys looking in their yard where they are usually tied out. I cross the street to be on the other side and his golden starts growling when we are a ways away. He says "wow they really don't like each other huh" I said, "not that it matters, but I think its your dog who has the problem with mine" and he decides to cross the effin street. I am like "are you effing serious dude I don't need your dog stressing us out, get away, why are you coming towards us???" He said well they are neighbors and should learn to get along and maybe my dog will stop barking at him. you take him on so many walks it seems he is always barking. Making it like its MY fault I walk my freaking dog and HIS dog barks up a storm. UGH it took all I could muster to just walk away without telling him how stupid he is.
I am sure we all have many many stories about this situation, unfortunately. Thats just one of mine.
