not to have had a go at dog owner for dog causing dd to fall off bike?

[LittleLisa78]

DD, age 5, and I went on a bike ride today. She was leading and as she went past a garden she started singing very loudly. A massive Rottweiler jumped up at garden gate and barked really loudly, making DD jump so much she fell off her bike. Luckily she fell onto grass and was fine, owner went it to garden to see why dog was barking, said he was friendly and DD was stroking him so all fine in my opinion. When she told DP tonight however he thought I should've had a go at the dog owner and that such a big dog shouldn't be in front garden. WIBU to not have said anything?

Of course YANBU. The dog owner didn't do anything wrong!

When I was a teenager, there was a Great Dane who lived in a house next to the main road - the drop to pavement was about 5foot, but the drop in his garden was only a couple of feet.

Dog would regularly put his head over to 'greet' passers by with a throaty bark- just a bit unfortunate that his head would be about level with theirs. .

He was an evil git that dog
