Not all of them.. just the stupid, irresponsible ones!
Took Bentley to the dog park this afternoon. Usually we just go during the week and avoid the weekend crowds, but he was overly hyper/energetic today so I figured we'd give it a go. Bad idea!
So we get there and all is good for a bit. Bentley is playing and running with everyone and all are getting along. All of a sudden out of nowhere this huge labx comes and plows into Bentley sending him flying tumbling over. At first I just let it go thinking the dog was just excited, but it didn't stop. Everytime Bentley would get back up and try to go play with the other dogs, this one lab would come again and do the same thing. Keep in mind that this lab was easily over 70 pounds and Bentley is 17 pounds at the most. I finally had enough when one of the incidents involved Bentley being pushed over head first into a huge tree stump and held there while crying and whining. I freaked out on the owners of the lab (while they were laughing by the way) and all they had to say about it was "Well it's your fault because your dog has a coat on. Our dog hates dogs with coats on". WTF? So because my dog gets cold easily and needs a coat, that's reason enough to just let your dog continually attack him? Apparently, to them, it was. So I just grabbed Bentley and left. No more weekend dog park for us. We'll stick to the weekday crowd.
