Are you afraid of doing some exercises outside, for example running or do some other sports in the park, because you might get bitten by dog?

Actually I am. I was once jogging alone in the late dark evening by the cemetery when an dog without an leash came up to me. That fucker was pretty huge and visibly angry. Luckily nothing happened but there were moments when the beast was a hair's breadth away from lunging at me.

From that moment, and from all the moments in which dogs ran up to me for no fucking reason at all, I started to distrust the four legged shits. And I can barely resist throwing a fucking brick at the dog owners who happily yell out "oh don't worry, Bob doesn't bite, he's nice :) :) :)".
... yeah fuck you like hell he is.

[DarkManX]

The same way I was running with a friend in the forest and one beautiful and charm lady
was talking over the phone while her pitbull was walking around till the dog see us.
Then the dog came to us really quick and I told to my friend don't move, don't do anything and the lady said: come on my boy come over here, don't worry guys he doesn't bite while I was looking at his angry face.

[ThisDudeHere]

I would have so wanted to beat that old lady to a pulp. Fucking cunt. I have had plenty of these old ladies too.

[DarkManX]

It's not a big deal I know, in this kind of situations the only thing a person could do is to stay calm and don't make unnessecary moves.

[snowangle]

Are you sure you guys know what an angry dog looks like? Maybe the dogs really were fine lol.

[ThisDudeHere]

@snowangle no offense but you sound like the typical dog owner who's constantly making excuses while the dog is almost bitting at my leg. Yes the shit was fucking mad. And even the ones on a leash have made me fucking jump when they sprinted up to me, barking all the way.

[snowangle]

I don't. If I'm worried about my dog's actions, I'll keep her away from people. That's what a responsible owner does; the alternative is letting my dog bite a person and then getting sued and having her put down. But more often than not, people jump at her lunging their way when really she's excited and friendly - not aggressive.

[ThisDudeHere]

@snowangle and how exactly I am supposed to know if it's excited and not mad? If I risk crouching and opening my arms expecting a hug when in all reality the thing could be intending to scratch my face off, I stand to lose a lot.

So no, it is not MY responsibility to know if a dog is hostile or not, it is the owner's responsibility to ALWAYS have the little shit on the leash and under NO circumstances to EVER take it off in public outdoor spaces.

[snowangle]

Well that was my original point. You both talked about how a dog was visibly angry and I was curious how exactly you knew that. But a basic knowledge of dog body language will help you learn. Though, I never recommend crouching down to hug a dog you've never met.

There are some dogs who are obedient and friendly who can afford to be let off the leash in public areas. But yes, most should always be on a leash or contained at all times. It's the owner's job to know their dog and to not take chances. Again, why would a person ever want their dog to be put down for biting a person? Only a select few really stupid dog owners allow their aggressive dog an opportunity to hurt someone.

Anyway, my point being: if the owner says the dog is fine, then you should probably believe them. The owner knows their dog best, and if the dog is truly angry, they wouldn't want them to bite you. Again, that would get their dog taken from them.

[ThisDudeHere]

@snowangle "There are some dogs who are obedient and friendly who can afford to be let off the leash in public areas."

I'm sorry but I refuse to believe that. Either the thing is on a leash or I'm considering suing the damned owner.

"then you should probably believe them"

ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY NOT! Under NO circstances will I risk MY health again and trust a dog owner. Never. They have been proven wrong before. I'd rather remain paranoid and healthy than take a risk trusting another idiot and her mutt and then suffer greatly.

[snowangle]

LOL okay then. It's clear you've been traumatized past the point of reason, so I'll leave you to it.

[ThisDudeHere]

@snowangle actually, no. I have never been hurt by them. I was once scared by one as a kid but I had entirely forgotten about the instance up until recentbyears when I started jogging and realized that I fucking hate dogs and their owners.

But nice to write off someone's arguments with "oh ur just traumatized".

[snowangle]

Am I wrong? I'm very knowledgeable about dogs and gave you several reasons why you don't need to be so scared, and you gave a highly emotional response that said you would never trust a dog owner no matter what (no arguments really - just saying the same thing over and over). No logic there; just fear.

But hey, it doesn't matter to me what you do. I was trying to help you out. You won't hurt my feelings if you flinch when my dog wants to say hi.

[ThisDudeHere]

@snowangle my only logic that I wanted to make clear is that it is safer to not trust them and remain healthy and without bruises, than trust them and then regret it later.

[ThisDudeHere]

Thank you for mho. Keep an eye on dogs.

[Casstiel]

I don't need to run because I'm an angel of the lord and I don't scare because I always kill some demons.

[DarkManX]

This isn't a big deal we're all creatures on the world, it's like with the people some of them are good threatened some not.

[snowangle]

Nah, my phobia is of wasps. They seriously keep me from going outside in the summer haha.

by the way, dogs can sense fear! My dog is the sweetest thing in the world, but my neighbors are afraid of dogs, and that's why she growls at them every time she sees them or hears them outside. It's very unlike her, and I feel bad because she's not helping their uneasiness hahaha. But I guess their anxiety rubs off on her.

[Victorianne]

No, I often go jogging. I don't have a fear of dogs. Unless they display their teeth and start to chase me 😮😂 then you'd see my jog turn into a sprint. You'd see me running faster than superman 🏃🐈

[DarkManX]

haha so according to dogs, you're more bravier then me...
When I saw a dog steet I'm about to transform myself into fast and furious man running for his life...

[Victorianne]

Haha my friends and I were once chased by a Rottweiler. Our only escape was to jump on the nearest car bonnet 😂😂

[DarkManX]

I'm almost doing the same, but lets say even the dachshund was chasing me and I was running and hiding behind the cars.

[Victorianne]

Aww Haha 😂😂. I used to have one of those dogs when I was a child.

[Victorianne]

Thanks for the MHO 👍😊

[electromagnetic]

You have a higher chance of messing up a move and breaking a bone before a dog will come your way to bite you.

[DarkManX]

Well, luck is not excuse.

[Iron_Man]

This one dog charged at me 10 months ago but he stopped when we both met eye to eye

[DarkManX]

Always have backup plan.

[Iron_Man]

My fist and my feet

[Anonymous]

No, I'm scared I'll make an ass of myself and go viral on YouTube because people are abysmal cunts

[DarkManX]

The best response, congratz!

[Azgeda]

Waht?
NO!
Why would a dog bite you?

[DarkManX]

For many reasons.

[Azgeda]

Such as?

[zagor]

No. You just need to respect their space.

[Tarvold]

No. Dogs love me.
