I just got followed about 50ft down the sidewalk by an off leash Great Dane puppy. Cute lil' bugger, though clearly an oblivious owner. The owner called over and over for the dog to come back but it just kept padding along next to me.
I was on my phone and ignored both her and the puppy and kept walking back towards my place. The puppy just followed along like it and I were out for a walk. Realizing the puppy wasn't going to leave me I finally stopped and stood there waiting for the owner to come to us.
Attempting to be friendly I said, "Might be time to invest in a leash." The lady held up her hand and said, "I've got one right here." Meanwhile the pup began jumping up on my legs. I stepped back and said, "That's the thing with leashes though, they don't do much good unless they're attached."
Apparently I was seriously over stepping my bounds because she gave me the meanest look. She snapped the leash on the puppy and took off back down the sidewalk without another word.
All this to ask, do you correct people in public?
