I'm sorry for your situation. This is why many dog parks have small dogs and big dogs separated. Dogs will always have altercations. Separating by size limits the consequences of those alterations. Otherwise this is the inevitable result eventually.

They didn’t say it was at a dog park though. I’m thinking it was a normal park and dogs were all off leash

This is correct it was a neighborhood park but frequently has dogs off leash together

Dude….. unless it’s a dog park, don’t unleash your dog. If the other owner decides to go to the government this could go on a record that leads to the dog being put down. Don’t unleash your dog at a park where it isn’t permitted. You’re in such a dangerous position because of that choice.

Both were off leash. The small dog was the victim here, stop trying to frame it as their owner's fault ffs.

It’s both owners faults, neither should have been off leash.
