A couple a days ago I had did discussion with a woman claiming that people should be more tolerant towards dogs that are not under control...she told me that the dog may be a youngster, and that we all make mistakes...
I'm not really tolerant towards others, because if the other dog is not friendly, and my dogs defend themselves I'll probably still be the one who is blamed in the media if something happens....and I'd rather take no chances...you know...better safe than sorry...
Well...she kept on saying that people should be more tolerant...untill today...
Another woman started a thread and told about her experience with a loose American bulldog...the bulldog came running, but stopped when she yelled stop....nothing happened to the other dog...
The first woman I told about is now in the thread acting all offended, just because the dog in this case was a muscular dog...:hammer:...claiming that people who own bulldogs are all bald muscular men with criminal records...
This made me laugh, but actually this is what I sometimes experience in real life: If I walk my dogs in the park(on a leash), people will threaten me, telling me that they will call the police....but labradors and golden retrievers are allowed to run free, barking at runners, knocking over kids and so on...
How come people be like that, and how is it in the US?(guess it depends on the state, but generally?)
