I'm neither a lover or hater of dogs but this is beginning to piss me right off rankle.
Near to where I live is a lovely lake. Nice path, children's play area, ducks etc. Popular in this weather.
I was out walking today with DS 2.6 and DD 6mo. As has happened on so many occasions now, we'll be stood feeding the ducks, only to have somebody's dog come bounding along to us, no owner in sight (the path is quite bendy) and start sniffing about. Now, obviously the sniffing I don't mind so much but DS is a bit wary of dogs and today one started trying to lick his face and was licking at DD's feet in the buggy. The owner then saunters around the corner, calling dog's name (to which it pays no attention) and then looks endearingly at the dog and at DS's worried expression and says "oh don't worry she just wants to give you kisses". No attempt to get control of the dog at all.
I gave tight-lipped half smile and turned away resisting urge to wipe DD feet with an anti-bac wipe

To not care how 'friendly' your dog is, if you can't control it, it should be on a lead
