Dog Owners

So this has been on my mind for a really long time. So during the weekends i walk this beautiful dog named duke.

While he is such a sweetie to me, and to the people he knows, he is not very friendly with the majority of people, or dogs. He is very much a dominant dog, and he will growl and bark if he feels threatened . Now i feel i do a good job at controlling him and reading his body language for clues, but some dog owners sometimes just make it harder.

Now while i understand that luckily for some, their dog is friendly they however, should not automatically assume that every other dog is. Many times there are owners, who i am sure mean no harm, let their dogs run up to other dogs or even bring them towards yours. When you see the other person with a tight leash, or one who is pulling their dog away from yours, that is NOT and invitation to come even closer! You are putting both our dogs in danger. Always ask if the other dog is friendly well before you even take a step closer. It is just proper dog owner etiquette. Also always ask before you pet another persons dog. It is just safer for everyone. :)

Other than that, My weekends are always so beautiful and unfortunately they are numbered now. :(
