Took my 8 mo old (spayed) baby for a walk on leash. 30 ft in front of us a man not paying attention has his maltese off leash and it comes charging at us. Man freaks out and starts yelling at his dog (which probably made the situation worse).
I froze... my baby is not aggressive and in fact is a wimp
She doesn't know to growl back to defend herself yet. Man comes running up and dog freaks out more and starts to growl and try to bite (it sounded like an actual dog fight). He gets tripped up on leash, apologizes, and we walk away (my baby whimpered in shock I think).
I need to plan for next time. In the quick 10 seconds it crossed my mind to spray, kick, or pick up the dog. Luckily it was a small one. Need to plan what to do next time an off leash dog comes charging at us.
What would you do?
