[QUOTE="Doohickie, post: 1724924, member: 59226"] If you watch the dog approach you can see it was friendly BEFORE the fact. Ears up, tail up, wagging. It just wanted to say hi. And if the driver was so afraid of the dog, why does he so utterly ignore it once the owner shows up? He suddenly doesn't see the dog as a threat at all even as it circles around him. And while the owner and the driver were obviously arguing, it was the driver that clearly initiated the contact, shoving the owner. I ride a bicycle quite a bit and this has been a rough week- I've had 5 different loose dogs come after me; one ran out between two parked cars to come after me; I didn't see it until just before it ran into my bike. Most of the owners didn't give a flip that their dog was loose and causing trouble, they just made excuses for them, almost as if it was *my* fault that they didn't properly restrain their dogs. Yes, there's a leash law in my city but I'm not going to kick a dog just because the owner is an idiot. Just tonight a pit bull came after me and because I was going uphill I couldn't outrun it. So I got off my bike and..... let it lick me as I pet it. This driver was a real jerk. No reason that I could see to kick the dog. Even if he claimed he was afraid it would attack, that's clearly not the case since he went on to ignore it and not see it as a threat seconds after kicking it, even though it was running all around him.
