Dogs Off Leads
68 Answers
I'm quite upset, I'm just back from the park about an hour or so now after walking my dog,
As I was crossing over one of the fields I seen this man strolling along the path reading a piece of paper then all of a sudden this huge dog was running at me, I panicked for my own dog who is much smaller so i bent down to pick my dog up and this dog just jumped on me growling. I jumped up and went to run off with my dog but this dog kept going for me not my dog. The man who was reading the piece of paper walked over calling the dog and telling me the dog was harmless. I was quite upset and asked him was it his dog, he said yes at which point the dog jumped up at me again going for my arm.
I screamed at the man to get his f-ing dog away from me. He told me to calm down that I should f*cking relax. He didn't even have a lead to put the dog on!! At this point the tears were flowing and i turned around and shouted at the man that his dog was dangerous and that he should have his f*cking dog on a lead.
This man didn't give a sh!t, he had no lead for his dog. He was in a public park with this dog, A lot of families go to this park what if that dog went for a small child??
Is there any law etc about dogs been on leads in public parks or should I complain to the park attendant or can he do anything??
Sorry if have repeated myself..just a bit upset and wound up :(

What a horrible experience for you. This man should never be allowed to have a dog. I don't know about the laws in the UK but here in Denmark dogs must be on leads at all times except in places where it is marked that they can run free as long as their owner has control over them, something "your dog man" seemed sadly to lack. I think you should definitely complain and I hope that you can put this behind you.
