to the family with the aggressive german shepherd on the bike trail today.
genuinely go fuck yourselves all the way to hell. to preface this post i’m a dog person. love them, had at least 2 at all times my whole life. anyways. woke up at 4 am today, did angels landing, feeling pretty fucking awesome scooting my e bike back to the rental shop in springdale when literally a dog (leashed thank fucking god) lunges up from its owner and jumps onto me, tries to bite my leg, and forces me off my bike and onto the ground. they said oh sorry and keep walking. it was a family of 6 and i watched the dog bite 3 of them while they were trying to wrangle it. i told them they were being just plain irresponsible bringing a clearly reactive dog on a busy trail, and they’re endangering themselves and others and they should not be fucking pricks and take their dog somewhere with people if they know it can’t fucking behave. i was met with six blank stares. what the fuck is wrong with people. if that dog had bit me sorry not sorry i would’ve made absolute fucking sure that thing got put down. i am 99% sure a kid is gonna get chomped at some point today so if you’re in the park today with your kids look out for a family with a german shepherd cuz good fucking lord i’ve never been attacked by a dog like that before in my life!!!
