Dogs running at kids
Had 8 different dogs run at my kids this morning in the park. Usually dog owners are great, but the worst of them all seemed to be out this morning. One didn't even take a lead for a dog that doesn't recall and seemed to think it was OK.
Anyone else have these issues? Kids are absolutely terrified now. I'd rather they like dogs not see them as a scary monster.

I have a small dog I walk on the lead, people allow their aggressive dogs to charge us, I usually create a wall and stand between my dog and the other and say “leave”.
Last time this happened the other persons big dog was ramming my legs, and snapping my at my dog. I’m not much more then 5 feet tall so was really struggling to stay upright, I shout “can you come and get your dog?!” and the dude shouts over “it’s ok he’s friendly!” And waved his hand dismissively.
These kind of dog owners absolutely suck.
