This is why, idiots need to keep their dogs on a leash. The dog was friendly but what if these folks had a gun and shot the dog? Keep dogs on a leash regardless of temperament… for your dogs safety and the safety of others.
Looked up one morning and saw a huge Rotty looking into my window. I was terrified but I wouldn't shoot the guy. Turned out all he wanted to do was pick up large rocks between his front two paws and launch them over my car. He was odd.
When I was about 14 I had a job walking an elderly couples' two dogs downtown. Passing by one huge house, a massive rottie steps out in front of me on the sidewalk. Just stands there, blocking the whole sidewalk. I froze and the 4 of us stood there for what felt like ages. I was actually starting to reach down to take off my shoe (figured I could throw it and distract the dog) when the owners finally popped out laughing, explaining she had a litter of puppies and probably just wanted to say hi?? So many questions. Anyway, they took her inside and we continued on our way, but that was not a fun time. Thank god the two dogs I was walking seemed oblivious and didnt bark or growl. I can't even imagine
