I took my daughters (I have a 1 yo and a nearly 6 yo)to a park today. 1yo was in a pram while the older one was running in front of me on the way home. There was a woman with 3 dogs (mongrels) talking to her friends. The dogs were playing but when one of the dogs spotted my running daughter it run towards her barking and when it got there it started jumping on her (definitely not in a friendly way). The woman shouted at the dog and it eventually left my daughter. I of course ran to help my daughter get the dog off her. She was in tears but the dog didn't bite her just really frightened her.
The woman took the dogs back quickly to her car but I heard her saying 'good dogs' to her dogs. That really made me angry not only the fact she said it but she did not check if my crying daughter was ok or even did not aplolgise for what happened. I just told her that if she can't control the dogs she should have them on a lead. She said they were under control but my daughter's running teased the dog and that's why she got attacked and her dogs have the same right to be there as my daughter has. Then I was told to 'get a life'.
The dogs had no leads, collars or even muzzles. She just packed them into the boot and drove off. I only mamaged to take her car reg down as I was still dealing with my daughter. I'm really angry I've not said anything else to this woman or done anything. What would you have done?
