Some truth to that, but if you plan to live long, it is your responsibility to learn how to deal effectively with the hazards that you might encounter, in real time, not on a FR thread.
I deal with them directly. First instance I tell the owner that I will kill their dog if it is on or near ever again. A dog running down the street and jumping on me is not “just being friendly” it’s obnoxious and unacceptable. I tell the owner their dog WILL die.
It’s worked so far.
