Same thing I've done in the past, that always gets me into trouble. Marched over, verbally abused the owner, and threatned them with a visit from my entire family to deliver the same punishment he just handed out to the dog.
Usually at this point the person I'm with is horrified I would get involved in this "domestic" warn me the offender might be unstable, and if I feel that passionate about it I should phone the authorities.
Sadly this warning comes while I have my hands wrapped around the offenders throat.
I took anger management. It's going well.
I would probably have just given the guy a dirty look. Then again, it wasn't a chihuahua was it?
Oh Che, if only you had been there. lol
Anon, it wasn't a chihuahua, it was a medium-sized dog. I admit, if it had been a very small dog, I probably would have watched in fascination as it flew through the air before I came to my senses and became suitably outraged.
I'd like to think I'd loudly say "Did I really just see you kick your dog?!" Then give him a piece of my mind. But I'd probably just yell the first question.
Interestingly, yesterday while on the Scarborough Rapid Transit I saw a woman hitting her dog repeatedly with the plastic part of those retractable leashes. Those things are heavy - I know this because I dropped one on my foot before. I was on the train - she was outside of the train station and I couldn't do anything. I don't know what I would have done exactly but I've never felt so helpless.
What did you do?
I have actually done the dirty look thing and I have gone over and said something....
Especially if its a kicking in anger not a push away kind of kick.
I hate seeing that kind of stuff. The problem with confronting the rage-o-holics is that same poor impulse control that leads to kicking a dog also can lead to some seriously nasty verbage. I have been called some horrible name.s
I also want to know what you did.
What did I do? I told him if he ever did it again it would mean the end of our marriage, and that I wasn't kidding.
Moving on, now...
I laughed which I know is completely inappropriate but still.
