Haha, I might try that what you two described next time somebody lets their dog come running up.

A couple of weeks ago, I guy let his dog run up and didn't even try to call it away and I shouted across to him firmly to call it away and he did and put it on the lead whilst he passed us. He was behind us and caught us up but I couldn't move any quicker because Mist can't get around that fast anymore.

I remember one time when I was walking along and saw some people ahead in the distance and they had a rottweiler that saw us and came running towards us so I got the dogs collars and squatted down with one dog on each side. The rottie just stopped about 10ft in front and just looked at us curiously. Then I noticed this guy come walking up from behind with his dog. This guy allowed his dog to come up to our Jess's backside and sniff it. She didn't know it was coming because she was looking at the rottie in front and then all of a sudden feels this nose up her backside so span round and lunged at it dragging me with her. The guy didn't say anything and just carried on walking past and the dog went with him and, at that point, the rottie ran back to it's owners. I really regret not having a go at that stupid, thick brainless, twirp now. It still riles me thinking about it. Imagine being stupid enough to let your dog do that. Some people shouldn't have dogs seriously.
