UPDATE: Off leash dogs?

Ironically a few days after I made my post about off leash dogs, my dog and I were attacked by an off leash dog. My dog had a small cut and I have some bad bruising on my leg (luckily was wearing thick pants so no broken skin).

For the love of god, if you want to have your dogs off leash, please take them to a fenced dog park!!

We were on the sidewalk, not even at a park, and this dog spotted us and charged a football field’s distance to attack. The lady had the balls to say her dog was just approaching to say hi and my dog started the fight by responding aggressively. This dog charged us with its teeth bared and reengaged 4 times - seriously can’t get the image out of my mind.

I stupidly didn’t get her information, but to any concerned dog owners, you can call 619-299-7012 when you see an off leash dog and apparently they will send someone to start ticketing. Maybe if enough people get tickets the issue will lessen. Also carrying citronella spray on walks now.
