A middle-aged woman was walking her dog on a lead when it suddenly snapped at the ankles of a distressed toddler who was trying to escape.
The kid looked traumatized and the dog’s owner started arguing with the mother, who looked horrified.
I then coughed and glared at her, and then she shut up.
People who own dogs such as Rottweilers often let them run loose in our local parks.
I have witnessed them chasing small kids or the odd jogger, while the owners casually call out the dog’s name.
While most dog owners are not as bad as the parents who scream at children in restaurants, some owners are just as irresponsible.
They love their dogs and think everyone should have one.
What do you think?
