Battle Wound 1 - My cut I got walking

I went to take my cousins dogs for their afternoon walk, I was on one sidewalk, another guy on the othersidewalk on the other side of the street with a dog. He crosses the street, and walks by me, letting his dog nip and jump. Well my cousins 3 dogs didn't care for this and started growling, he even stopped and thought it was cute. Here I was trying to drag off 3 large breed dogs, as this dog kept at them. I ended up tripping, and being dragged down the sidewalk. Guy was lucky I didn't let go of the leashes or else his dog would of been history, and of course if any of the dogs attacked his he would make it seem as if he was a victim. I have a big bruise and cut up my legs, and my knees. My ankle hurts even more, and my knees. I was ready to slap this guy out, but I was hurting so much to care. My butt bone is killing me because I landed on it, and was dragged trying to hang onto the dogs who were trying to get away from this other dog.

Are you serious! Did he ask you if you were ok? I can't believe he was that ignorant to do that....really stupid. I'm sorry you got so hurt from a jerk of a guy. I don't even know what to say to you...I'm speechless.

Nope, didn't say anything, just turned around and walked off. That's why I was fuming, most people would run over and ask not just walk off.

Unbelievable! What a jerk to come over to you in the first place. Usually people see someone walking their dogs especially three bigs dogs they will stay away. Did he even try to help you when you fell? I bet not! Here you are doing a good deed for your cousin and someone comes along to cause you such pain. I hope you are feeling better real soon. I know it would take more time but do you think it would be easier for you to walk them separately so you have better control.

Nope, he just walked off, and looked at me. Why I was so ticked at the jerk even more. They have been completely fine, and if this guy didn't let his dogs nip or jump at them it would of been fine. They do get hyper when they see other people, but never growling and trying to jump like that.

Some people are just idiots! Around here, whenever someone walking with a dog meets another person walking with a dog, they always ask if the other is "friendly" before getting anywhere near each other. Your cousin's dogs must be well trained if they did not want to get in a fight. Hope you heal up soon.

I know everytime I walk dogs we ask that, or avoid each other. Not this guy, they are trained decently. They need little improvements here and there. But they just tried ignoring this dog but after awhile obviously they will snap back.

Wow, that looks so painful. That guy's a jerk. I think he and his dog both share the same stupid trait. Well, at east the dog's got an excuse: he's a dog. what's his excuse? I hope you already got that taken cared off. It looks nasty. Hope your back gets better soon as well.

There doesn't have to be a question for a discussion to ensue.

I've read it, but I did not find the question of the topic? so how I wanted to respond, if no questions. and the words I'm wrong, I apologize. because in my opinion, it is a forum for discussion of questions and answers. thank you.

That guy was stupid mean and whatever. he was so wrong in what he did. I'm sorry you got hurt and hope you heal fast. Maybe if someone did that to him he'd know how it feels. He didn't even ask if you were ok? This is seems just mean and annoying. Again i'm sorry for what he did and hope you heal fast and that this doesn't happen to you or anyone else. This guy should be ashamed of himself.

In some situations, I don't think that it is a bad idea to introduce the dogs to other dogs because it will be something that will get them to be less aggressive toward other dogs. However, in this particular situation, I definitely do have to say that the guy was really stupid because of the fact that you had three dogs and he only had the one dog. I think that when it comes to socialization issues with dogs, it is much better to do things on a one-on-one situation as opposed to a three-on-one situation.

im having a similar problem with my broken arm it seems to attract stupid people towards it and i have to be very alert- as no one seems to take any notice of the injured person. i need a sign saying keep your distance arm healing- or think brfore approaching. as you can see being hurt makes you a bit cross with the cause of it lol

The roads are filled with idiots. So better to avoid such kind of acts is just to avoid them to the extent as possible. But if unavoidable, you should give a tight response for such an act so that the other person don't think that you are coward.
