Last week I was walking down the street with my kids, and some loose dog comes running at my youngest. I’m holding both kids’ hands, so I kicked at the dog to keep it away without actually hitting the dog.
All of a sudden, its absentee owner comes out of the woodwork to threaten “if you kick my dog I’ll kick you!” I just hung on to my kids and kept on walking. I would rather get kicked than let his dog do whatever it was going to do to my kid. I’m not going to stop and get in a fight with this idiot, but it was simply astounding that he expected random people on the street to care more about his dog than he does.

You made the right call. That person was definitely a dangerous idiot.
I love dogs but fully support you on this one.
No you’re right. You don’t know that dog’s temperment. Your kids are more important than a loose dog.
