dogwalk

toby got attacked by an aggressive dog on our trail run this morning 😟

he is fine thankfully but some people truly should not be allowed to own dogs 

if you know your dog is aggressive (or you never take your dog out anywhere and haven’t tested it) then *obviously* don’t let them run around a super busy trail off leash around other dogs and people and children 

esp after they just showed aggression toward another dog (turned out we were not the first ones to be attacked this morning) 

dog needs to go get some training at home and the owner needs to be put on a leash at all times

yea it was hard to know in the moment whether to try to run away (in which case the dog might just keep chasing us) or stay put and try to push the other dog away until the owner was able to get a hold of the dog

luckily my husband had toby at the time and i was running up ahead, and he's much bigger than me so i think he was probably better able to push the other dog away and protect toby than i could've

i wouldn't have a clue of what to do in that situation

we're out trail running all the time and it's never happened to us before until yesterday 😢
