So took my spaniel to a river walk , it is very popular with fishermen, families , dog walkers, horse riders etc
To avoid the amount of people yesterday I kept him on the lead and walked about 2 miles along to an area which is very very quiet - I rarely see anyone here. I let him off the lead and was throwing his ball in the river . After half an hour a woman appeared wearing white trousers white top and sandals , she went down to the river side where my dog was, my dog exited the river near her (only exit to the bank ) and ran towards me right past her.
As he did this he sprayed her with water as he ran past getting some river water on her very white clothes- cue a torrent of abuse from this women how I need to control my dog , I owe her money for dry cleaning etc. He didn’t run up to her and didn’t jump up! I told her to get lost and said it was her fault and she saw my dog was in the water and would be exiting near her, and she should have moved away . I took my dog and left but now nervous about seeing her again as it’s my usual dog walk .
Was I being unreasonable or was she??
