Redditor Angry At Man After His Dog Started Licking Him Randomly While He Was Jogging

Here's the original post by Reddit user u/brianj922:

OP tried to get away as far as possible from the man and his dog, but they kept getting closer.

The man responded with a similar tone, which made OP doubt his approach.

Here's how the Reddit community reacted to u/brianj922's post:

The man could have done the bare minimum and kept some distance.

A good dog owner should control their dog while on walks.

Some people are allergic to dogs and don't want to come in contact with them.

That's a pretty mild reaction compared to what New York is famous for.

OP did everything right, and the dog owner allowed the incident to happen.

That's when you know that someone is about to be an a-hole to you.

"New York is a city of 8 million where every person thinks they are the only one."

When spatial awareness is lacking, it can be incredibly frustrating.

You don't even have to ask that question.

You never know the allergies someone has.

Anger shouldn't be the immediate response to a confrontational situation.

OP had no other options and was forced into that situation.

People should train their dogs not to chase anything.

OP wrongly assumed that the dog owner would act according to the unwritten rules of life.

That's not something everyone's okay with.

OP doesn't own the sidewalk.

OP didn't "wait till the last second;" he moved out of the way.

Well, what do you think about this problem? OP took all the necessary precautions to make sure that the dog owner had enough personal space.

But despite that, he still managed to be in his way and didn't care how his dog interacted with people. If you enjoyed reading this, make sure to check out similar content on our platform.
