I went out for a run with the dog did about a lap and a half when I encountered some dumb b!tch with her little dog off the leash. The little dog was running circles around my dog, playing, not knowing that my dog has a habit off chasing little furry things in my back yard. I yelled out at the owner of the other dog that her dog should be on a leash. She apologized, trying to chase down her dog. I had my dog subdued for a little bit, but the other dog kept pestering my dog. I tried to pull Rocky, my dog, away when the latch on the collar some how broke loose. There was a short chase then the next thing I saw was the poor little dog’s neck in Rocky’s mouth. I grabbed Rocky by the top portion of his jaw and pulled released the little dog, where I out of both anger and embarrassment proceed to pummel Rocky. Maybe three blows at most but more than ever necessary, I know.
Now I’ve got Rocky down on the ground by his neck. But the leash is about 5 or 6 feet away from me. Should I drag the dog with me or should I just let the dog stay while I get the leash? I figure it would be unpleasant for both of us to drag him there so I tell the little bugger to stay or so help me. He stayed I got the leash and put it back on him. That’s when I noticed the small cut on my pinky finger. I’m pretty sure I got it when I stuck my hand into Rocky’s mouth to free the other dog.
I’ve got no idea how that latch got undone.
I never finished the rest of the run. I walked home with the dog walking gingerly behind me the whole time. I felt like shit.
I guess everyone involved learned a lesson here.
The stupid bitch should’ve had her dog on a leash.
The stupid little dog shouldn’t be pestering bigger dogs.
Rocky shouldn’t try to eat little animals for breakfast.
I should have grabbed Rocky by the collar and walked off sooner, and I shouldn’t have over reacted with more violence after the incident was over.
Jeeeeeeez!!!!!! I was just trying to get my jog on!
Now I shower and get to work by 11.
