A plea to all dog owners.....

Whilst you love your dog please don't assume everyone else does.  Twice this year I have had to confront owners of dogs who have been off the lead on CL's and bounded towards my young children at speed, whilst playing quietly near our c'van.  The dogs began
barking and jumping up at my children the youngest being 5.  The response from the owners was "its only playing" and no apology.  As a parent when I see a dog bounding towards my children, do I think "oh look, there's a dog running towards my children at high
speed, I wonder if its playing?".  No I certainly don't.  If I feel my children are at risk I, like any caring parent will take immediate action to mitigate the risk.  Some consideration please.  And before the retaliation starts, it's the minority spoiling
for the majority.
