Sure does. She played “Karen”....he pulled the “Race Card”.
“Karen” described him as “African-American”....media gloms on.
“African-American” trumps “Karen” in the media agenda.
Also...if she owns an animal...needed to know how to properly handle. Really stupid.
I own three German Shepherds. Two of them have off leash privileges, the two girls. Max may go off leash if there is absolutely no one else in sight that he isn’t already friends with. Max is my Chief of Security, and he doesn’t put up with anything, so I have to protect all others from him, and him from himself.
If at anytime someone asks me to leash the girls, I will and have done so, and most times I will leash them without being asked if I see any situation that calls for them being leashed, such as a speed skating team racing around the track. They don’t need two dogs running around chasing their balls and causing massive pile ups of high speed humans.
It’s just a matter of courtesy.
And one must also consider that someone who fears a dog can shoot the dog, and they’re won’t be much I can do about it. It would really be my fault, so that is something I want to avoid.
