I at least expected some kind of genuine apology rather than an "Oh, I am surprised that happened" type of response, without resorting to cliche "What if I had been a child?" or an angry 6ft 10 dog hating nutter.....? :-)Howellseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18062730822742673050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3103510324968192841.post-16435077296052682572013-10-16T22:20:09.287+01:002013-10-16T22:20:09.287+01:00I was once bitten by a Jack Russell in a chip shop...I was once bitten by a Jack Russell in a chip shop, and its owner, who had it on a lead, finished ordering her chips before pulling it off me. Are the owners to blame? Or is that like blaming the parents for everything children do?<br />Cheers, AlenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3103510324968192841.post-47458817087843873662013-10-08T20:46:40.891+01:002013-10-08T20:46:40.891+01:00Thanks for the comments Jules.

It's interesting that a lot of my friends assume I will love dogs because I love walking, not always the case!Howellseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18062730822742673050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3103510324968192841.post-60871389644439148512013-10-06T20:23:34.376+01:002013-10-06T20:23:34.376+01:00The trouble is we live in a country where to criti...The trouble is we live in a country where to criticise someone and/or their dog is considered the social equivalent to admitting to buggering babies. If we don't like dogs, it is somehow our failing. Or we do like them actually, we're just pretending.<br /><br />TBH, dog walkers are often their own worst enemy - and often the brush by which conscientious walkers are tarred.Juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16576395337502021082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3103510324968192841.post-10974404453933828982013-10-05T13:53:26.617+01:002013-10-05T13:53:26.617+01:00When I went out a couple of years ago with one of ...When I went out a couple of years ago with one of the Peak District Rangers it was amazing the abuse he got trying to ask people to put their dogs on leads around the sheep and in areas where ground nesting birds were....Howellseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18062730822742673050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3103510324968192841.post-89999989684290986032013-10-04T19:02:12.058+01:002013-10-04T19:02:12.058+01:00I share your feelings about dogs.

On at least 3 occasions I have seen people shouting and chasing their un leaded dogs as the dogs run after sheep on the fell. No wonder some farmers are anti walkers.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00603945367689510842noreply@blogger.com
