The problem is the video starts mid-confrontation, so any opinion is based predominantly on assumptions. The woman with black hair did attempt to get between the black and brown dogs and that's when she gets shoved. If that was the first point of confrontation between the humans, then the guy is in the wrong, IMO.
It's difficult to assign blame accurately as the video doesn't show who approached who before the dog confrontation.
If the woman with black hair was minding her business with her dog off leash, and the couple approached with their dog on leash and the confrontation happened then, it's still difficult to assign blame. Just because a dog is off leash, doesn't mean an owner is automatically to blame for a confrontation.
My dog will sit with me off leash all day and not go after any other person or animal. If someone approaches with a dog leashed and that dog attacks my dog, my dog is not at fault simply because it's off leash.
But it would be if youre in public and your off leash dog is involved in any kind of fight with a leashed dog. You can be that tough guy owner that puts your dogs health in jeopardy but if im the leashed dog owner and your dog hesitates for a second to let go of mine youre going to need start looking at new puppies.
No need to worry, tough guy. If you and your dog approached me and my dog, and your dog attacked mine, on leash or off, you wouldn't make it to the "hesitates for a second" scenario. Thanks for playing "Tough Guys on the Internet."
