You don't know that OP is overweight. Some of the joggers in my neighborhood go at a pretty fast clip, a good 6 or 7 mph. I wouldn't be able to catch them.

Times have changed so much from when I was growing up, it’s amazing that people can’t take a minute out of their day to make a world of difference to another person day, I honestly fear what it will be like when my son is my age.

No they still exist thank goodness for me and my child. We were in a parking lot and my son broke free as I was trying to get the door open. He ended up behind a car that was backing out. Thank goodness a nice woman took the time to yell to the car to stop. Yep 100% my fault but I am so lucky that one of the nicer people was there instead if this jogger, not my fault, lady.

Thank goodness a good samaritan was at the right spot at the right time and your son is safe. It seems like random acts of kindness are nearing extinction in today’s society and everyone is out for themselves and themselves only.

Thanks.

I was trying to ignore the ##### again! Good grief, I bent down to reach the puppy a few times but it would back up just out of my reach. I guess I could've dropped one of the cookies I had in my pocket but there was a crazy lady following us and I wasn't sure I should feed her. She looked rabid.

You continued running, while having no concern that I was running behind you trying to catch our puppy, who decided maybe a jog would be fun! Instead, you kept running, with him by your side! Instead of stopping, to allow me to catch up to you, and retrieve him, you allowed me to run behind you, before I had to go running back to my house, to get my car keys and shoes, only to find you still running blocks away, allowing him to run in front of vehicles! My fault he got lose, yes, but your complete disregard for the possibility of him being hit by a car, and having him follow you, even after I begged you to stop, just amazed me!! (and probably all the other cars, who were trying to avoid hitting him!)

Hope your neighbors treat you, the way you treated me this morning! I struggled all day, with how someone could be so cruel! Hope you are never in need of anyone's assistance, and make sure you don't twist your ankle in front of my house!

You're an idiot. Maybe if you got off the couch once in awhile, you could have caught up to her instead of having to go back for your car.

How to protect yourself from rabid, slobbering puppy owners.
