Im sat here trying to stop myself from crying by writing this to release some of the emotion im feeling right now,but im actually still in shock.I have just been for my usual walk with Buddy same field same time as always,today Mia my 10 year old was with me.
As we entered the field i saw a man and his wife (didnt see a dog ) they went round the corner and i let Buddy off lead (he must of clocked that they had a dog before i did) Anyway he ran striaght upto their dog (who was also off lead) I then heard the man screaming "get your bloody dog" as i turned the corner Buddy was being his bouncy self trying to get the dog to play with him the other dogs tail was wagging so all friendly the dog had a couple of barks at Bud but nothing major.
Then the man went crazy F..king this f..king that and started to kick Buddy (well try Buds very quick!) i shouted "he's only a puppy he just wants to play he's friendly" (while trying to catch up with them they carried on walking at a pace)
"get your bloody dog under control" "that f..king women" he was shouting
By this time Mia was scared so would not follow me to get Buddy i was trying to catch up but they wouldnt stop so Buddy kept following (still just bouncy around wanting to play even though the man kept kicking him)
I eventually caught up shouting "stop kicking him please" (maybe im too polite!)Anyway i got him his wife was laughing !!! they turn around and walked back the same way we had come??? i had to walk the same way as Mia was back there anyway he was f..king this f...ing that at the top of his voice while walking past her she was very upset.
Im a bit in shock actually ,yes Buddy does run upto other dogs when off lead and they do to him thats what happens when your in a field where dogs are off lead yes Buddy's recall is a bit hit and miss but most people understand they wait for me to catch up let the dogs have a play then carry on.
Ive carm down a bit now by writing this ,im nervous about going back there tomorrow i will have to keep Buddy on the lead just in case .
