I was walking through the parking lot at the beach this morning, and a medium sized dog rushed at me and bit at my leg. I pulled back and he only got clothing in his bite.
I walk there almost daily. The dogs are supposed to be on leashes. This guy was not holding on carefully enough to restrain his dog before it reached me.
I yelled at the owner to get the animal out of the area, since obviously it is not well enough trained, and he is not careful enough with it.
The guy was upset with me for telling him to get his animal out of the public area.
I am not afraid, but I am concerned if an animal would bite me, he could do the same with a small child. And of course with an owner unable/unwilling to restrain the animal they have no business in such a public place.
The owner happened to be Asian. By the time he was leaving, I had made no reference to race whatsoever.
But he did. He called me “something bleep American.”
Maybe he did not like you getting too close to his lunch.;-D
