I deal with this way too often Unless the dog needs Vet. care and has obvious injuries, no governing body will do anything. That poor dog is considered his property That's why I suggested taking a deep breath and not loosing your cool. The only way to get to the dog is through him, and you can't do that if you scare him away. I can't tell you how often I want to launch myself at someone, but in order to make a difference in the dogs life, I have to calmly deal with as#ho&8s!! So not right!
