We were walking Seiche from our boat to the public park down a long, narrow dock (500 feet or more). It was Seiche's first time on a long dock, and I had a mesh muzzle, e-collar and prong on her "just in case," as she's never been in a situation like this before. Some idiot with a little yappy dog in her arms remarked to someone else on her boat, "stay away from them...some people have no sense" in one of those voices I knew I was meant to overhear. I spun, looked her in the eye, and told her that I had rescued this dog from a kill shelter, and that the muzzle was a precaution because we weren't sure how she'd react on the dock with lots of dogs. I was really mad.
Good for you! People really are ignorant. I adopted Luc almost 2 years ago now; but the first summer I had him - he's scared of strange dogs (he spent 3 years in a no-kill shelter, not exactly ideal) we used to see a couple and their golden retriever on our walks sometimes. Luc would always move so I was inbetween them (which I encouraged; he knows I'll always take care of him) and the woman would ALWAYS laugh at him because he was nervous. It made me SO mad....so good for you for saying something. I never did. Just when I'd made up my mind that next time I saw them I was going to say something (or punch her ) we never saw them again.
