My first negative comment

I was on my walk with Mia this eve and we came across a young lad with a samoyed/husky type on a lead, who was barking and yapping. The lad said to me "are you going to put your dog on the lead or what,
Me: I beg your pardon
Him: can you put your dog on a lead
I called Mia over who wasn't taking any notice of this dog and the noise he was making thinking that his dog was a bit dog aggressive. As I was putting Mia on the lead he said
They aren't exactly friendly are they
Me: You mean staffys, it's lads like you who have created this problem in the first place and not all staffys are nasty. If you are going to tar all staffys with the same brush then I will tar all young lads with the same brush.
Him: Oh I didn't know it was a staffy, thought it was a pit bull cross! I like staffys.
The look on my face must of said it all as he walked off, head down as I stood there shaking my head in disbelief!
Some people you just have to pity lol

   

 

Excellent response!!

You're right it's lads like him who have given the beautiful staffy such a bad name. Makes my blood boil!! GRRRR!!

Well done for standing your ground n shaming the idiot!!!

Unfortunately young lads don't always know what they think they know ...

Sigh........

Double sigh you handled him very well

Good for you sticking up for your pooch - I wouldn't have been able to come up with such a quick response.

you get some muppets about

I got really angry the other week... We took Ronnie and Barnie to a fun day where there ere loads of dogs..
This yappy little runt came up to Ronnie and was giving it the full on teeth bearing at him.. Ronnie looked at me and woofed at this little runt..
Then everyone who was around turned to each other and went " typical staff " !!! Oh My days i dont think my hubby moved me away so fast..I had steam coming out of my ears,

Really winds me up

Some muppets about

You definitely handled him well!

It's maddening isn't it Barneybear.

Well done Ronnie for the restrained woof - unfortunately yappy little runts can get away with anything they like .....

Sounds like you handled him well, silly boy!

 what a tool

Witty response - I might not have been quite so polite!

Job well done!

Well done you for putting him well and truly in his place! 

I don't want to offend but maybe he was afraid of your dog approaching his dog if he was unsure how his own dog would react. He had his dog on a lead but if his dog bit your dog he probably would have got the blame even though his dog was restrained. I am just saying this to show another point of view
