Hello all,
just wanted to see what other mothers opinions are on the following situation:
When walking up my street to a summer fete with my mother and my little one (16 months)a neighbour was gardening with his two springer spaniels.
As we walked I thought at the time the dogs were staring at us a little too intently...
As we approached the house the two dogs started barking and ran down towards us barking constantly, the owner did nothing. My mother is terrified of dogs and stood there frozen screaming.
The dog on the left just stared at us barking but the one on the right stared straight at my son and growled. A really deep belly growl. The dog was really stiff, barking and growling, inching closer to the buggy. With all the noise, the owner tried to call the dogs back whilst saying oh don't worry they won't hurt you! He called at least three times before they ran back. Do friendly dogs growl and snarl at babies?!?!
I had visions of jumping infront of the buggy, stamping on this dogs head and crawling home with half an arm!!
After talking to mother, she said these dogs have jumped on her and my aunt before!
I think these dogs are dangerously out of control no? I strongly suspect that despite the owners assurances the one dog was actually going to take a bite out of my son..
What do I do? Should I report this guy? I think these dogs are going to bite someone at some point...
