We took Willow out for what we thought would be a nice country walk today local to where we live, she was off lead and we saw two dogs approaching we didnt know that were off lead to so OH popped her back on the lead. There was no sign of the owner(s) anywhere in sight.
After watching from a distance and still no sign of the owners they came bounding over (both of them were huge) one just sniffed Willow but the other didnt look too friendly on approach. It started snarling at Willow straight away and then started hurting her, his teeth were showing and it was really scary, she was really yelping and tried to get away. OH then lifted Willow and the dog continued to be aggressive. The owners then appeared albeit in the distance to which OH shouted for them to get their dogs on the lead, they did this as if in slow motion and the owner of the one that had gone for Willow struggled to get her dog on the lead.
They then stood behind the hedge whilst we passed, they said nothing. OH said to them they they should keep their dogs on a lead if they are aggressive and he told them that the dog had gone for ours. She didnt respond. I then became really angry and came out with a few choice words. (in fact I've never said so many swear words in one sentence) Again no response and not even a 'sorry' or to ask if my dog was okay.

Luckily on closer inspection Willows side was a little red where the dogs teeth had been but nothing else.... my poor baby... Im still so angry and upset. I think my poor Willow had a lucky escape. Also I'm glad Willow has the personality where she seemed to just shake it off once it had happened and carried on enjoying her walk....
Thanks for reading..... rant over....
