It's a beautiful day outside so I took Missy on a walking Missy on a walking trial and saw a dog ahead so I switched sides with Missy so I would be between Missy and the other dog(I don't know how she is with other dogs) not only does doing this make me more comfortable but also Missy. Once close enough I notice the dog is on a stupid extendable leash(hate them with a passion, no offence to anyone with one I'm sure your respective and shorten the lead when other dogs and people walk by) and its owner is on the phone. The dog goes straight up to Missy, I try keeping her away from the dog I can tell she is not comfortable having this dog in her face the dog than bites Missy's muzzle(nose, snout).
This causes Missy to go off. She was making some terrible sounds. No surprise the STUPID guy(owner of the dog) doesn't try getting his dog away from my know panicking dog he is to busy talking on his phone he just keeps walking like nothings happening
. I was so mad I wanted to give him a piece of my mind but me being only 5'3 and a teenager and this dude being pretty big about in his twenties it wouldn't have been a good idea so I waited till he was out of hearing distance and called him every word I could think of GAH
. I tried getting Missy to calm down by having her sit giving calming signals, but she wasn't having it she just wanted to get as far away from the dog as she could so I just continued walking. The rest of the walk she was anxious and one alert, it ruined our walk.
BUT before the stupid guy we had walked by someone with two dogs politly walking by their owners side
Missy calmly walked by at first she flipped around to look at them but I redirected her the right direction and she walked by them without a problem. I feel Much better know that I have gotten that out.
