Just had a very minor incident but I’m new to all of this and I came away feeling like I’d done something wrong.
Walking pup who’s 6 months old on lead on a normal pavement (not wide but wide enough for 2 people to cross paths comfortably).
Lady coming around the corner towards us with her dog on lead. Pup gets excited and pulls to the end of his lead (which is about 4ft long) there’s still 30ft between myself and the lady.
As she sees us approaching she shouted ‘my dog is NOT friendly’, she made no attempt to change direction and kept coming towards us so I crossed the road with pup.
So no drama at all but I thought shouldn’t she have been the one to cross over? She really shouted at me, which I understand but her tone was as if I was in the wrong. Shouldn’t she have shouted ‘sorry, my dog isn’t friendly’ and turned immediately to cross instead I had to get out of the way for her.
