Yeah, completely their fault, at every level. We're walking on a public street with a leashed dog. Their dog comes charging out onto the street from behind their house (easily 75 yards away) with no leash, no collar even and immediately attacks our dog. The husband's first reaction once he finally showed up (probably a good two+ minutes from the start of the encounter) was to approach me aggressively with his right hand cocked back to swing at me yelling at me to stop kicking his dog. Meanwhile, his wife is running around trying to get control of their dog (still attacking us mind you), my wife is yelling at him to get control of his dog while actively trying to keep the other dog away, and I'm still holding the leash and keeping my dog close while she tries to defend herself and I try to get their dog off mine, at which point he snaps and lunges at me.

Zero legal or moral ground to stand on. Completely avoidable had they kept physical control of their dog. The icing on the cake is that the wife even mentioned at the end that this is the 2nd time their dog has done this... WTF.

[QUOTE="mav, post: 8059919, member: 39244"] Yeah, completely their fault, at every level. We're walking on a public street with a leashed dog. Their dog comes charging out onto the street from behind their house (easily 75 yards away) with no leash, no collar even and immediately attacks our dog. The husband's first reaction once he finally showed up (probably a good two+ minutes from the start of the encounter) was to approach me aggressively with his right hand cocked back to swing at me yelling at me to stop kicking his dog. Meanwhile, his wife is running around trying to get control of their dog (still attacking us mind you), my wife is yelling at him to get control of his dog while actively trying to keep the other dog away, and I'm still holding the leash and keeping my dog close while she tries to defend herself and I try to get their dog off mine, at which point he snaps and lunges at me.
