Our house and garden faces a park and we get a few dogs running across the gardens at times. I was working in the garden last week when a dog started running up to me and across our garden; the owner didn’t call their dog back and they didn’t say anything to me. I ignored them and carried on with gardening. Would you be annoyed or figure it’s not a problem? FTR I’ve had dogs in the past so I’m not anti.
AIBU?
Am I being unreasonable?

It’s a strange set up here, it’s all open. The park and the gardens are separated by a pavement. A fence isn’t practical because the free wheeling dogs would get in via other people’s gardens - every other house would have to fence off their garden too to seal off all access points.

This is a similar set up to our garden and park. I think it’s a clear boundary between park and garden but some may disagree. Having had dogs I can appreciate they do go off on their own but I’d have recalled and would try not to let them disturb others. I guess it was surprising that the owner wasn’t bothered.
