Dogs with no tails are mean

I was away for most of the weekend, so when I got home I brought Bailey to a bike/jogging trail. We jogged almost 2 miles and turned around to walk back, so now I am tired from traveling 6 hours and from jogging. We pass a guy with his daughter, maybe 3 or 4, on her bike.I get about 10 feet in front and I hear the girl say "Dad can I ask to pet his dog?" I was about to just stop and say sure you can, when I hear her father say "Dogs with no tails are mean and will eat you". I felt bad for the girl, she just wanted to pet Bailey and Bailey would have given her more kisses than her father does. A little ways up A lady with 2 Chihuahuas stops me. As we are talking the little girl asks to pet the Chihuahuas. So I took the opportunity to ask the guy why he felt that way. He had no answer other than "They just are". I asked what he thought Bailey was and he said a pitbull mix. I told him she was a boxer and they are one of the best breeds with kids. His reponse was "I'm going to listen to you? you don't even know how to put a harness on, the loop goes on the back JERK." I didn't even bother to tell him it is an easy walk, I just was not in the mood. I tried to stay quiet because of his daughter and just, in not to nice a way told him I hope he never owns one because he would not deserve its love. As I walked away another little girl yells mommy its another boxer. She came over and played with Bailey. As the guy walked by I made sure to say to the mother (who has 2 boxers) that they are the best with children and her reply was "without a doubt."

Wow...you have a lot more patience than I do...If anyone talked to me like that, especially since I am moody all the dickens from quitting smoking, I think I would have told the little girl to cover her ears and tell her daddy what I really think of him...LOL...Ignorance is SO ugly!

He said that about the harness!! What a lot of nerve on that guy! I would've started laughing hysterically after that remark, that always seems to irritate those types the most.

On a different topic, is your pup only about 4 or 5 months old? 4 miles seems like a long walk - esp. with the jogging. Sorry, not trying to be nosy, I've just been worried about how much I run my pup - too much before at least 18 months can be harmful.

Glad the other lady agreed with you in front of that jerk :)

She is 5 months. Well my jog is about a fast walk for her. We have a couple of sprints here and there, but mostly a fast walk for her.Of that 2 miles we probably walked 1/2-3/4 of a mile. Plus many breaks along the way, she likes to stop at the pond, both times we go by, and watch the ducks. Then we stop at evey animal in the woods and of course evey dog we go past and water breaks too. I thought one mile was enough, but she just wants to keep going. Even, after 2 miles, as we go to the car she wants to turn and go back to the trail.

It seems like rudeness is everywhere these days doesn't it? Never ceases to amaze me how unwilling people are to learn something new and maybe change their opinions from before they knew better. Oh well. I did enjoy the fact that he saw how sweet your baby is around kids in the end. What a fool. smashicon

I hate it when people think they know it all and wont listen to the truth. I am so happy you ran into the lady with her little girl, right in front of the man.

Its not fair that people are so prejudice against our sweet babies because of their looks. I think they look adorable!

What is wrong with people???? I feel bad for his daughter, who will probably grow up being terrified of "tailless" dogs, thanks to her dad's ignorance. Please give Bailey some extra kisses from me and my 4 year old daughter-she loves ALL dogs!
