"..I have had two incidents like this when my dog is wandering close to someone..." The (possible) other side of that tale just jumps right off the page doesn't it? "I was walking in the park the other day, minding my own business, when suddenly this large dog (not on a lead) suddenly came right up to me, sniffing and so on. I'm not particularly keen on dogs and always get a bit nervous when they suddenly approach me uninvited (you never know, do you?), in a public park, so I waved at it to shoo it away. It immediately became really aggressive, ears down and snarling and barking and quite frankly scared the crap out of me. I was convinced it was about to attack me and I was trying to to get the damned thing away from me. This crazy woman then came running over screaming at me to leave her baby dog alone and I'm afraid I gave her a bit of a mouthful, telling her to keep her dangerous dog under control, preferably on a lead. It all turned into a bit of an unpleasant shouting match. She told me the park was for walking her dogs and that I was upsetting her baby, and that those stupid exercise machines shouldn't be there anyway as they upset her baby dog. She shouted at me that I was an idiot. And all I was doing was walking through the park, minding my own business, not annoying anyone." Just saying. There's always two sides. I know which seems more likely. As for the OP, if you enjoy walking in Chiswick House (that you pay for), but would prefer strange dogs didn't approach you or your children uninvited, the answer is simple. Either don't go to Chiswick House, or confine yourself to the "dog free" areas. Mind boggling, isn't it? |
