Ugg I'm having the same problem, Nikkia was attacked by an aggressive poodle about a year and a half ago. We were walking through the park when we saw this huge black poodle chasing a kid, biting it's shirt and, tugging it around the kid was screaming bloody murder. I have a 6 year old sister so Nikkia has always been very protective over little kids. She began barking at the dog and it ran over towards us then bolted off into another direction (I was assuming towards it's owner). This gave the kids dad enough time to go and scoop his kid up, he was furious! While I was watching them the poodle came up behind me and Nikkia bit her on the back of the neck and went to town, Nikkia was of course squealing the whole time. When I finally was able to kick it off of her it's owner, who had been sitting on a park bench a few yards away the entire time then came over and started yelling in my face. Then the kids dad came over with his crying kid and we began yelling at the owner to keep control of his dog. The owner then flipped us off put his dog on a leash and walked away, what a lovely person... This shook me and Nikkia up quite a bit I was only 14 at the time. Never in my life until that day had I been so afraid of loosing Nikkia or getting hurt by an angry adult. That is until that dog attacked Nikkia and I had it's owner screaming in my face. Luckily Nikkia didn't receive any major injuries from the incident just a few small puncture wounds which healed quickly. She has been very insecure around other dogs since though and it seems that every time I've almost got her back to normal. We run into another out of control dog and their stupid owner. The dog tries to pounce on Nikkia to either play or be mean and this freaks her out because she doesn't know if it is going to try to tear her apart like that poodle did. I am sorry you are going through the same thing I really wish people would respect other people and their dogs by keeping their out of control dogs on leash!!!
