I'd be worried if she can't hold the dog now that it's a puppy, how can she control it when it is fully grown???
It's always good to ask first. Kids see Bear and they remark how big he is, then ask if he's friendly, then they want to pet him.Originally posted by ceo_pte
Like I said, I was actually going to pet the dog...

You know how people act like a dog is so hard to hold...

Report the dog to the HOA and animal control. Talk with the parents.
About the earlier post with boxers running loose in the neighborhood - they would encounter the three S's on my property. I own two dogs and keep them disciplined and under control. If you can't do that or don't have the time to, you shouldn't own them.
Hmmm. bit by a boxer. Did she call the dog "Tyson?"

He was on a leash and appeared to be just wanting attention so as we were walking by, I kind-of leaned over a little and was going to let him sniff my hand and then pet him. I had my hand cupped upward too... Then I saw that the fool was trying to bite at my hand so I moved it and turned to keep walking. The dumb girl (acting like she couldn't hold the dog) let him pull her and as we kept walking he bit me on the back of my ankle, just above my heel. I was like, "oh no he didn't."

Did they have to give them to you in the stomach?

If the dog doesn't like you, you are no dayum good. You probably deserved it. If I was a dog, I'd bit you. :shrug:

There is sure a lot of drama here considering ceo was only NIPPED by a dog.

You never turn your back on a dog that you think is exhibiting aggressive behavior.
A dog on a leash can feel threatened...that you are coming into its territory -- and they are protecting the person at the other end of the leash.
Granted, it sounds as if the owner wasn't experienced with handling the dog but it also sounds as if some fault lies with you as well.
Was this the first incident? You should report the dog bite and hopefully, if this dog has a problem, the owners will seek training to remedy the problem.
