Parent went mental at my Ddog!

[WesternAmy]

Can someone please tell me how Ddog was at fault here?! We were walking on a footpath close to our house earlier, and a woman was pushing her toddler along on a sort of bike thing.

As we were passing, the toddler dropped a cuddly toy. Ddog instinctively went to pick this up (it resembled a dog toy) and I stopped him.

The woman went mental, shouted at Ddog “NO, NO” and I hurried us away.

I can tell it has impacted him, he has been really subdued since which is not like him at all.

Am I wrong to think the woman should have had some restraint?

No. The woman didn't want your dog eating the toy or running off with it. Perfectly understandable.

Thank you!

(as indeed is the toy with the toddler - and slobber free)

Cool 😂
Try harder hun

Actually YABU if you don’t tell us what colour lab 😬

You’re obviously a dog obsessive and think everyone should love them, hence the snarky comment.

Bore off, not everyone wants a smelly, slobbering dog near them or their kids.

Not read the full thread but I’m willing to bet someone’s already made the predictable comparison of dogs to kids.
”I’d rather have a dog (insert example) than a kid!”

Predictable every time there is a thread even remotely critical of dogs. 🥱

No problem

It's another DDog one. 😎

Dog should be over a loud No within a few minutes. If not, maybe he's part elephant.

I doubt it if it belongs to a toddler - they are slobbery little creatures

I don't want to be friends with neurotic people who raise neurotic children.

My friends are mentally balanced, strong, reasonable women.

Dog drool and big labs who are being friendly wouldn't make us run and scream and send the most bizarre message to our children.

If that's what being cool on MN means, then, I'm a happy outlier.

Life must be very difficult for DDog if he's impacted by someone shouting No twice.

😂😂😂 The mother in question said "No" to a dog

You've made up a lovely far fetched story though

One thing this has taught me - there is something that (D)Mumsnetter’s hate more than having to sleep with their Husband’s. DDogs!

Exactly! I don't give a stuff if a dog's mouth has less germs than a child's hand, the muddy ground, or an ant's arse, I wouldn't want MY CHILD, handling their toy after someone's mutt had drooled all over it!

Sorry, their DMutt!

!

Laughing at just how many posters had to use the word "slobber". Not all dogs slobber, in fact most don't but the dog haters like to think they all go round slobbering and moulting like crazy.

One of you is...

😂 No, we don't hate dogs.
We do think you need some help though.

Yes 😆

Ddog?
Dlab?

D-
Must try harder.

Your poor dog

Suffering with impaction and yet you are too much of a cheapskate to deal with it. Instead posting on mumsnet 😢

I think the total opposite actually. MN is generally very very pro dogs.

have you read the OP correctly?

I can’t see anywhere that suggests the dog needed to be told to leave the toy twice.

You should’ve shrieked ‘leave it ddog, you don’t know what you’ll catch from that little germ factory’

Love how triggered mumsnetters get when anyone dares to show affection towards their pets 🤣

Apart from the minimum of 10 posts a month complaining about them in some capacity.
