[QUOTE="Puppylove, post: 1694081, member: 101768"] ...trouble...does this bother you? Today we had our poodle and terrier mix out on the walking trail and I have never seen so many unsupervised little kids. And there was this one family who were just letting their kids run up ahead of them and not watching them and the kids ran by us and this one kid (He looked about 6) came up behind my terrier mix and smacked her in the face (she did not react she just cowered behind my husband and whined) by husband couldn't get between her and the kid in time. Luckily she didn't react she just looked dumbfounded but the kid ran up to his aunt and said "That dog Bit Me" and pointed at her. But they told him to stop whining and that there was no way that dog bit him.....she saw what happened. Then he went to his uncle and changed his story: "That dog licked me and got my hand all wet" And his uncle told him to stop telling stories. He then ran to his mom who was coming up from behind and said "Mom that dog licked me" and she was like "so" and then he said "That Dog Barfed on Me" and then he said "And that dog bit me" And she told him "That dog did not do anything to you but I wouldn't blame that dog if she were to bite you now for telling stories on her" and then she apologized to us and said she saw what he did to our dog and she apologized to our traumatized dog. And then the kid ran ahead and came back toward us with a huge stick and yelled "I'm going to get that dog" and his mom took the stick away and drug him away. I wanted to tell her to watch her kid because he is going to cause a dog that has never done anything wrong to react badly and probably act out agressively but I was too stunned about the whole situation. I have always been afraid something like this would happen. The last thing I need right now is for her to begin to truely fear children. Does the whole unsupervised kids on walks thing bother you as much as it does me? If you had been in my place today how would you have reacted? I wanted to add: I'm just glad his mom knew her son was full of S*** And I'm glad he didn't hit my poodle because I don't think the kid would have been as lucky....my poodle is real tempermental due to his health and he wouldn't hesitate to react to behing mishandled I'll tell you around here no one watches their kids and it doesn't matter where you are.....this was on the greenway around the city where all kids should be closely supervised it isn't the safest place things were different when I was a kid (and that was not that long ago I'm only 22) By the way both our dogs are always on a leash we have a leash law here [/QUOTE]
