    The solution is to train your dog and keep it on a leash in public. Be a responsible owner and accept that strangers don’t have to like your dog, no matter how cute or well-behaved you think it is. It’s not that hard.

    part of the solution is also to train your kids not to approach unfamiliar dog without a permission. not every stranger or their dog has to like your kid, no matter how cute you think it is, it is really not that hard 😂

    i didn’t mean to move the responsibility of dog ownership onto the potential victim.

    i was simply reacting to the “no reason” part of the statement. dogs, same as humans, are pretty simple creatures. we operate on a trigger > reaction basis.

    we may not know what the trigger for the dog is (hell, we often don’t know what the trigger is for us), but that doesn’t mean there is none. and unfortunately, parents often don’t teach kids correct approach to stranger’s dog (probably because they themselves don’t know it), but that does not seem to be your case.

    Cannot read body language, if I can’t see the dog

    yeah, that’s fair, seems like the owner’s fault.
