Snowy... viscious???

[Pembroke_Corgi]

Anybody who encourages their kids to call someone names obviously has unsocialized children, I can't imagine how unsocialized her dogs must be. Snowy did the right thing by telling those dogs to back off. And you did the right thing by walking away. Some people are so ridiculous!!

I feel for you!! my old dog which has been gone for almost 10 years,i used to take him camping everything that poor dog was attacked everytime i walked with him and i always had him off the lead he would stand by my side he never wandered off...some people thing they should be on a lead but when you live in the bush is it that necassary? Anyways Taylor was attacked by a german shepherd and so was i the owner said"you should control your dog" and all i could think was what did i do wrong both me and Taylor had to get stiches from the attack there is alot of irresponsable pet owners out there..leave me a message if ya want to rave some more ...i will listen!!!

thanks everyone

even if Snowy had been on the lead, it wouldn't have been any different because it was the fact that those two dogs that were chasing her so I'm not going to start walking Snowy on the lead in that garden because Snowy has no problems with other dogs big or small and as I said we have been walking there since Snowy was a puppy.

I think this has happened to her before because she started her sentence by saying "Oh no, not another one" so her dogs must have chased other dogs before (probably many times) and they told her dogs to back off. She should learn that socialising is something that dogs learn from other dogs. She may never learn but I hope her dogs will - they are not bad dogs, just boisterous.

I don't think I want to come across this woman again so if I ever see her again from a distance I shall walk another way.

Thanks again everyone for being so supportive!

Of course Snowy is not vicious! The woman was irresponsible and rude to let both her dogs and her daughters be out of control like that! I hope you never see her and her entourage again on your walks with Snowy!

Sorry to hear about that that William. Some people are just plain ignorant. One would hope she learns more about dog behaviour. You did well walking away. Give Snowy a big hug for me, and seeing as I've not been on a while perhaps some pics.

That stupid woman is the one who should be on a lead or at least her dogs should if they chase others.

You did the right thing - poor little Snowy must have been terrified, bless her
