 Was I wrong?
2 kids were walking their Rotti. I commented them on how fantasic looking the dog was and that I too owned a Rotti then I asked them if the Rotti belong to my friend. (he was the only person in the neighborhood that owned a Rotti). Instead of a yes or no answer, the answer the little boy gives me is "HE BITES". So with that answer, I then asked the girl holding the leash if she could handle the dog? Then I asked how old she was, Her answer was "I am 11 years old and I can handle the dog and it was none of my business". So my response was you really should have an adult with you and I walked away. So a few minutes passed and then her mother came walking out and the little girl was pointing at me. So I decided to walk over there and introduce myself. The mother was in my opinion a very ignorant person. She too told me it was none of my business. Well my response was what would she do if a unleashed dog charge and attacked her dog or if anything else happened? I said that Rotties are already unfairly stereo typed as mean and vicious dogs and that the blame would most likely be put on her Dog even though he was leashed and if an adult was with her then it would be easier to defend the dog or even prevent anything that may happen. Again her response was " It is none of your business" So again I responded yes it is my business because if anything happened then it would be all over the news and when ever I take my Rotti out I would have to deal with the unfair stereo type caused by irresponsible owners and as I usaully do with other Rotti owners I meet, I ask them if they have heard of this website and if not I tell them the address. I advised her that this is a great place to learn about the Rotti Breed and a great place to meet other Rotti owners. I said have a nice day and walked away.
So was I wrong?? Is it none of my business??  |
