Feel like I should but don't know if it will be taken seriously.
So, I have a dog.
Not dog aggressive but can be a bit grouchy - occasionally growls/lip curls but nothing more.
Months ago she went to greet another off lead dog, said dog went extremely stiff, hard stare and proceeded to begin walking stiffly in stalking type fashion.
I called dog away and other dog lunged forward snarling and snapped at her throat and back of neck (no visible injury)
As we were getting away dog continued to follow us in stiff stalking pose.
Owner very aggressive and rude, questioning what on earth I was doing (getting away from satan dog), dog means no harm .
Fast forward to today, my dog was ahead, just sniffing, mooching around.
I noticed a dog in the distance, considerable distance away.
As it came closer I recognised it as the Satan dog.
I put my dog on lead and intended to walk her a different route away from it when I noticed it, at quite some distance, in stalking pose again, staring at my dog moving forward so immediately starting to walk away quickly.
It quickened up, could hear the owner call it once or twice, we carried on walking away, we had walked quite some way before it gave up and returned to its owner.
I am in two minds what to do.
This dog hasn't caused any damage, but only because I got my dog away quick enough.
I have no doubt that if we hadn't made quick escapes it would have attacked...
