she is only little and looks like a teddy bear - Bichon and toy poodle cross - can't even reach your knees if she jumps up.

Walking in woods with a friends and her lab x puppy and 5 children under 5 with us (2 in a buggy and 3 running around). Going a long a path and a jogger is running up - he shakes his head as he passes us as the pups have shown some interest in him - they come back to us but go back up to him when he is further away - he then stops and screams at mine to F Off but she sniffs a bit more so he boots her in the stomach. I couldn't believe it - most people at least give me the chance to say I'm sorry and am training her etc.

He was too far away to say antyhing although some other walkers shouted at him but then off he ran.

Please tell me that I will be more traumatised than the dog? Was in a wood with loads of dog walkers so can't believe it doesn't happen to him all the time.

Had just taken her off the trainng line but quickly put it back on - now need to re-gain my faith in mankind.

Oh good.

It must have been a huge shock for both of you

Hope pup is fine and dandy soon Notime... I remember the time my pup (as was) got hit repeatedly with some old **'s walking stick - he wasn't bothering him, merely wanting to play with his dog. It certainly affected me more and I learned an awful lot about miserable and mean spirited people that day.

Take care

Omg hecky, that is shocking. What is the matter with some people, eh?

I have a puppy too and take mine jogging with me. Whenever I meet with another jogger or a cyclist I put mine on the lead because it is annoying as hell if you almost get decked by a puppy or it runs in front of you - that said there is no excuse for that man kicking your dog.
