‘[He] said I should train him better???’: Dog owner asks old man to stop throwing treats to her pup due to a medical condition, but he refuses

Dog parks are great places to take your furry friend so they can meet friends, you can meet friends, and everyone gets along! Then, there are the few rotten humans who ruin the fun for everyone—and sometimes, they don't even own a dog. Why are you even here, then?!

The dog parent in this next story explains that their pup, Milo, is prone to pancreatitis. As a result, he cannot have a fat-heavy diet. When the owner brings Milo to the dog park one day, an old man starts throwing treats toward him that are likely not Milo-friendly. The owner politely asks the old man to stop, but he continues to tempt Milo.

It's important to understand that dogs cannot understand what food is harmful to their bodies, obviously. So, when the old man blames both the owner and Milo for not having self-restraint, the owner loses it and tells him off. What would you do in this situation as a pet parent? It's easy to convince yourself that you've overreacted, but protecting a pup who can't speak for themselves is a pretty good reason to scream at someone…
