Kimberly,
Up until a few days ago I would have agreed with Roberta until last week when I was approached by a dog walker with his wife . I walk my dog in open fields behind my home , my labrador is 12+ years old and struggles with arthritis , the wife of the guy had two aggressive dogs pulling on leads , as I walked by he asked why my dog wasn't on a lead , I told she didn't need to be on one so then persisted that what would happen if my dog attacked his dogs , I laughed at that and pointed at my dog saying she's hardly likely to attack anyone . At the same time his dogs were getting more aggressive and pulling harder on their leads , so I told him his dogs had more of a problem , at that he gave me a few explicit remarks and stepped towards me with a clenched fist , so I told him with to go walk his dogs elsewhere , his wife by this time was screaming at him to leave it and walk away , which eventually he did .
I have to admit even for my age and and appearing as Teresa I did feel that guy might become physical without his wife restraining him along with his dogs .
