Had Oscar in the park this morning when a guy and 2 kids walked past. no problem, Oscar took no real notice and that was that. I then heard some shouting about 20 seconds later turned round and there was the guy shouting "get your dog under control!!" I apologised staright away when I saw Oscar near his kid. Oscar then came back to me and I askjed the guy what had happened and he started shouting again. I apologised again when the guy told me Oscar had nicked his childs breakfast!!!
He still carried on ranting despite me telling him that I was sorry twice and then started swearing and saying that "if it happens again". Well this got me riled and i asked him what he meant, and he said he would call the police. In the end I told him that as I had apologised twice and he had refused to accept it I felt justified in acting the same way as him and told him to control his kids by making them eat their breakfast at a table!! I may have thrown a choice word in there too!! I'm not proud of this but I was incensed that he wouldn't calm down and i thought he was about to threaten my dog!!
I don't think he was a dog owner :
And I didn't admonish the dog as it was too late and he would have thought I was telling him off for standing next to me!!
