I go out walking every day to try to keep fit. I walk along quite a quiet road where there's very few people. Some days I don't see anyone.
Anyway, this morning on my way back home along this road, I saw a man walking towards me, a bit off in the distance.
I had my noise cancelling headphones on, baseball cap on and head down just focused on my podcast and my walk. When the guy got up close to me I realised he had a dog and had it on a non retractable lead.
He then let his dog walk right up to me and bury it's head right into my groin. Didn't pull it away. I had to push the dog away with my thigh. I looked at the guy with a 'what the actual fuck' look on my face and he just had this big grin on his face like he thought it was funny or cute.
Now I'm thinking that it was a bit weird that he just let his dog come up to me like that and did absolutely nothing to stop it. He didn't pull the dog away at any point, even when I looked at him. Honestly, I felt a bit violated by it. Did he know his dog would do this and maybe gets some sort of kick out of it?!
Am I right to feel a bit weird about this encounter or am I making a big deal about nothing?
