I have a four month old puppy. My last dog was extremely reactive and I’m determined not to allow this one to go the same way.
Anyway I was walking him around park yesterday as I have done since he was allowed to go out. I’m socialising him walking him past gangs of geese, other dogs, screeching kids, lamas, donkeys etc etc
Well we were walking around the lake in a quieter part of the park and up ahead I saw two young blokes with 3 dogs off lead. The biggest one was trying to get into the lake to go after the birds and the bloke kept dragging it out. As we got closer I realised the dogs were pitbull/xl bully whatever you want to call them. About twice the size of a staffy, built like brick shithouses. I’ll try and attach a photo of a dog that looks identical to the ones in park.
I picked my puppy up and turned in the opposite direction. The bloke shouted at me “My dogs aren’t vicious you daft cow”. So clearly owner was a dickhead also.
was I wrong to do this?? I’ve happily walked him past Dobermanns, German shepherds, Rottweilers etc but I draw the line at these dogs which imo should be illegal.
Image is off google but appears to be the same type of dog.
