Unfortunately dog owners are a pain in the arse. Their little bundle of fun is the bestest niciest little cuddlefluff in the whole wide world. They don't give credence to the idea that anyone might be frightened of their animal or not wish to be accosted from across a field at 40 mph.
My sister-inlaw has a big black lab that after 3 years still does not walk to heal and has its paws and snout every inappropriate place possible. Yet the sodding animal can play dead roll over and shake hands. I have had more than one argument over it running into our house past the garden and pissing on the carpet. So now its banned. My dogs have grown up with small people so know that the way you say "hi" to a child is not by sticking your paws in their chest and laying them flat on their back. Unfortunately too many owner don't get the point that the dog isn't your friend, rather you are its master and it looks to you for guidance to its limits, so you need to set them!
As a responsible dog owner I say: "So very sorry on behalf of the other 60% of the community that dont take your feelings into account when they let their four legged rocket off the hook in public"

My favourite was sledging this year, a guy was letting his dogs fight in the middle of the slope with 100 kids sledging down. I waled over and politely (really) asked him to control his dogs and he replied, 'It's a public park, mate'.
So I took his photo and posted it on a paedophile outing website.
It is a cringworthy thing to watch though
