To the woman who screamed and jumped as we walked past you down at the waterfront on Friday evening. I was having a calm, relaxing walk with my Dutch Shepherd and three of my young grandchildren. As I saw you and your group of lady friends coming toward us, I had my three grandchildren get in line behind me so your group had lots of room to pass by. Some of your friends moved to the path above us. There were two paths at that point. The moment you got beside my dog, you look down at him as if you'd just noticed he was there. You screamed at the top of your lungs and jumped backwards. My dog had looked at you and then looked away. Absolutely nothing more. I kept walking about ten feet and stopped. I turned back to you and asked what was wrong. You screamed and jumped again! I was shocked by your behaviour. I asked you again what was wrong. You acted like you were to scared to answer. One of your friends answered for you. She said you were afraid of dogs. I told you my dog was leashed, calmly walking by my side, minding his own business. Even when you screamed he ignored you. Your friends thought your behaviour was quite comical, they all knew why you were screaming, so obviously this is something you have done on more than one occasion. Your behaviour was completely unacceptable. You were mature women, not young girls. You could have moved to the path above us if you are so terrified of dogs. Your behaviour is going to get you bit by a dog one day and it won't be the dog's fault. It will be your fault. Your scream scared me and my grandchildren, not my dog. That type of irrational behaviour doesn't faze him. But one day you are going to scare the wrong dog. Not everyone is a responsible dog owner with a well behaved dog. You have been spotted. Please heed the warning.
