Dovedale today - woman in white t.shirt with 5 year old(ish) little girl - scared of dogs. Was it you?

If so......

Big fat / sign and rasberry to you and shove the dirty look you gave me where the sun don't shine.

What happened?

nice

oh do tell

Ah, the friendly face of Mumsnet

Oh please tell

Was your dog off it's lead perchance? Terrorising small children?

Please don't tell - reckon I can do without hearing what's likely to be a viciously negative story.

Dog went into the river for a drink - it was on a path where dogs were OK off-lead. I'm red-hot on keeping my dog on a lead when kids are around but he was just coming out of the stream and wandering over to me.

Woman did huge diva-style lift of the child away from my dog and gave me a killer look.

Bloody dog walking capital of the Peak district on a sunny bank holiday....

Next, I saw her do the same thing again to a dog that WAS on a lead and give the same look to that dog owner too.

Dogs are part of life - teach your children how to behave around dogs - I don't care if you hate dogs with a passion. You teach them road safety, so teach them dog safety. Dogs are not going to disappear any time soon.

As a total aside - the child was possibly one of the most exquisitly beautiful children I've ever seen and gave me a smile over her Mum's shoulder - warmed me heart

I think the op is being rotton, she has to come back and tell

oops x post

Why didn't you tell her at the time?

You could have had a fight, Gladiators "duel" style on the stepping stones with the loser falling into the river. Now that would have been worth the sitting in the BH traffic for!

it was me.

woof

Maybe her child has been bitten before?

I am sick of people letting their dog run up to my terrified child saying "it won't hurt". She doesn't know that, does she?

Doodle2U sounds like the mum just thought she owned the world.
I do wish dog haters would stay away from doggie places.

Dog didn't run up her to her child.

Child wasn't terrified.

I didn't say "He won't hurt her etc".

Never said it or you did.

your dog was uncontrollable

and oyu had tattoos.
Never trust a dog owner wiht tattoos

Your don't sound that heart-warmed.

My child is scared of dogs after being knocked over by one twice his height.

Dogs should be taught child safety. People and children scared of dogs aren't going to disappear they are part of life.

I try to encourage gentle safe interaction with dogs. But if I did pick up my child to ensure it's safety or mental health then I'd give a killer look to anyone who was clearly non-verbally giving me a V sign

oh and it's "raspberry" .

woof woof

sorry doodle didn't say her dog ran up ro anyone

my child freaks out when he sees dogs, and i mean really freaks out. thing is, that makes dogs come over to him .

I didn't say anything. There was nothing to say, tbh.

My dog was knackered from a good long walk and a swim in the river - he couldn't have given a shoite about any of the millions of kids that were there.

You wish dog haters would stay away from doggy places 2shoes?
