I probably would have gone to talk to the guy, but that's just me. Certain individuals think I have no sense of danger, but again, that's just how I am. I would have asked if he was just training him, why he was yanking like that, etc.

Aww, poor dog!

It sounds like he was using a prong collar by the way you say his sking was bulgging out the sides. Wich should NOT be used on a small puppy. And a chain leash on a small puppy is too heavy. GRR I would of said something. Poor puppy

poor dog It sounds like he was using a prong collar,and that is definently not how to use it. I would have said something to the owner!

Miss Z is a young girl, after all. It perhaps would have been unwise for her to confront a grown man at any given situation, even in a public place... unfortunately

Yes, that is what did cross my mind. I would have loved to have gone up to him and given him a lecture, but it would be unlikely that he would listen to anything I, a mere teenager, had to say say. He sounded pretty violent too from the way he was swearing at the poor dog

A prong collar...that does not sound nice at all

I agree completely. Although I can REALLY understand why you would want to, it's not wise as a young girl to confront a grown man, it's just not safe. I sure do understand why you would be angry, I would have been too. As an adult I probably would have said something, but I wouldn't recommend a younger person confront an adult in a situation like that.

I completely agree.
