It’s fun watching people with their dogs. They take
them to parks where they know they’ll encounter other dogs, then spend an hour
or so moaning that they haven’t got the park to themselves. Nothing looks more
ridiculous than grown adults desperately dragging their family pets along a
footpath in a clumsy attempt to avoid any interaction. And the owners
over-react like they’re under threat of death. Poor little Foo-Foo, apparently,
would simply explode if she was within licking distance of a Golden Retriever.
They’re pack animals, for God’s sake. They just want
to say Hello. If they let them sniff each other, they’d probably get along
fine. It’s when you try to keep them apart that they end up flipping out and
attacking each other.
