Yesterday, I took my two dogs, Jimmy and Jodie, out for a walk to town and to the beach, whilst going through town, I saw the cutest pug outside a shop tied up, I approached it slowly and it showed that it was friendly...
So me and my dogs said a quick hello and it began to get friendly, doing play bows, jumping up on my lap etc.
We were there for about 5 minutes saying hello to this cute pug, and I was waiting to ask a few questions to the owner of the dog because the pug had a slightly different face and was keen to ask if it was a purebreed.
The owner finally came out of the shop, and in a raised town said "What are you doing?" I responded saying, I'm just saying hello to your dog, and she said "My dog's tied up and vulnerable!" I said to her we were only saying hello to your dog, and she quickly untied the leash and started walking off, of course, staring at me, my partner and my dogs as well as swearing and muttering below her breathe.
I was really suprised at the response I got from this woman... Many people who own pugs (I have found), are delighted when someone takes an interest to there dogs, as is anyone, but this woman was having none of it!
I don't get it!
Has anyone else had any weird experiences with any dog owners?
