I understand what you are trying to say Popcorn and you do not have to like dogs. But please , do not run away esp. screaming! That will encourage the dog to follow. If it is a friendly dog, it will think you are playing and chase the big squeky toy! And if the dog is not friendly it will probablly sense your fear and think it a threat.Originally posted by popcornbird
If I saw a dog running towards me, or any dog running unleashed, freely, I would jump, scream, and run for my life!
I never try to force my dogs on anyone. If they comment on them I will ask if they would like to pet them and if they say no, that is fine. I am not offended. And I appreciate it if people ask first if then can pet them or if their dog can play. Of course, I say yes, but it nice to have the warning. I always try to remember to do the same!
