The lady had left her number but it turns out she gave a false number!

"thanks for the number, I'll just give it a quick ring to make sure I've got it right"

>ring ring<

"Hello, Wainright's Fruit Emporium, Otto speaking, how may I help you?"

>turn back to lady<

"Ahem. About that number..."

To be fair, I think he was in a hurry to get his dog to the vets because of the wound so she wrote it down for him.

Nope. Neither do I hold any directorships, have a willingness to write strongly worded emails or have the ability to throw a can of Red Bull substantial distances. I just to make sure my dog is safe whenever I walk him.

Having owned dogs for 15 years or more now I'm bored with the usual exchanges after this sort of incident. I now just explain to the owner of the other dog "if your dog attacks my dog I will attack you".

If you cannot control a dog you should not own one.

Agree entirely, but threatening to attack someone constitutes assault, elevating the incident from legal to illegal.

I know that is the situation I would put myself in but I would be willing to deal with the outcome if my dog was attacked. It is a pathetic world we live in when it comes to this but some people only understand one approach these days.
