“It’s okay!” That’s what white women in their late 20s say to me when their dog is charging me, snarling and barking, when I walk down the street. “It’s okay! Come here, Perky! Come here!” They stand there in the entrance to a cafe and reason with their dog from a distance rather than taking control of it or, heaven forbid, keeping it on a leash. “He just ran at you because you’re afraid.” Hmmm, and here I thought that when I crossed to the other side of the sidewalk to avoid your dog I might get a break this time. Nope. No matter how many nice parks get divided up into ‘off leash areas’ just for you, you keep your dog off leash everywhere. It used to be that these women would get a fucked-up little rat dog as a pet accessory. Ugly to look at, but the rat dogs never pinned me against a car while their owner did nothing. Ladies, please: put your ill-behaved dog on a leash. Several years of experience has shown that saying “it’s okay” doesn’t work.

  1. would you mind putting at least 1 fuck and 2 shits in your mind numbing dumbshit story…your life must suck. For 1 its a dog, I have NEVER seen anyone pinned up against a building EVER, if your bothered by that get a big fucking stick and walk with it…If a dog bothers you, beat it down within 1 inch of its life, you dont deserve it and the owners will learn…problem solved.

  2. Seriously. A dog off leash snarls and barks at me when I’m walking on the street? I don’t fucking think so. You’re within your rights to kill the dog AND sue the owner if you’re being assaulted by an animal (which doesn’t necessarily mean being bitten, just threatened), so get yourself a stun gun or some mace and apply liberally. I’d recommend a loud stun gun, dogs are often afraid just of the noise alone. Don’t let your fear of dogs control you. Fight back!
