I am ready to be told IWBU, I can take it!
Lately our park has become a bit of a hangout for lads of a Certain Type (gold chains and hoodies) to gather and admire their dogs (mostly Staffies). This afternoon one of the Staffies, when let off its leash, ran straight for me and the buggy (containing 2yo and baby), jumped up at me and was jumping all over the buggy, barking.
I shouted in my sternest voice that these lads (all around 16-17) had better get their dog away from my kids and on a leash, as it obviously wasn't properly trained. They called it away but it came straight back and jumped up again, at this point I may have said that I would call the police if they didn't get their dog under control. They were all like "Calm down love, it's only a dog..."
Came away feeling like maybe I overreacted, but the dog was off a leash, unmuzzled and not being controlled by a responsible adult. So was I BU?

Was I BU to have shouted at these boys about their dog?
