Alright, parents in the audience! This one's for you, so listen up. Your kids are your responsibility! And you have simply got to keep them under control, we know parenting ain't easy, but there are doggos walking around the neighborhood who need to feel comfortable! That brings us to today's total ridonkulessness. When the original poster of this Reddit thread saw an unsupervised small child sprinting and full speed toward their dogs, they panicked and went into protection mode.
After giving the kid a thorough 'yelling at' out came the kid's dad, who has heard in the distance the sound of someone yelling at his child, and oh boy he is not happy. OP begins to believe that he may have been in the wrong to yell so strongly at the child, but at the end of the day, he had his doggos to protect.
"You teach kids to respect animals and their owners. OP is NTA. I would have yelled too, especially if a kid is grabbing at my dog."
"Really wish I could upvote this more it's such a huge pet peeve of mine when parents don't teach their kids anything about this stuff."
"Step between kid and dogs and square up, with your feet apart. Command your dogs to Sit. Command the child to Stop. Hold your hand out in a stop sign and firmly but calmly say the command "STOP Child. STOP NOW.""
