    I had such an awkward moment today while walking home. This little furry cute “thing” maybe 8 inches tall (I was trying to see if it had legs but couldnt find them) runs after me and circles around me then stops like a foot away from me looks me in the face and angrily starts screaming (barking) at me in a very hyper fashion. It looked like it was trying to give me a drasha like “why didn’t you blah blah blah I told you a million times blah blah blah” (like if you had a female boss who was having a BAAAD DAY) but it wouldn’t shut up it was just going at it it. The whole time I was scared it would try and bite me but I was thinking, I cant even defend myself because how would I look if I kick a little cute dog like that. Serious dilemma. Well anyways it enede well and Baruch Hashem it responded to its owner and went back to him after he called it like 5 times. So much for obedience lol. Im just amazed at how feisty little dogs can be. Like the big ones are too lazy to bother with you but the little ones have so much energy and feel they have to prove a point.

    Sounds like an untrained dog. The owner of a big dog usually tries to correct it if it barks at people. A smaller dog seems harmless, but it’s bad behavior and the owner is being careless imo.

    (like if you had a female boss who was having a BAAAD DAY)

    I found this sentence disturbing, perhaps sexist and misogynistic.

    Yes it seemed untrained by the fact that it ran down the block and then turned the corner to harass me.

    It’s called a Napoleon complex. They are fearful because of their small stature so they attack in imagined self-defense.

    goq- i actually didn’t… not sure why not though

    wiy- an 8 inch tall dog doesnt really have a big enough mouth to bite you, unless you’re offering a finger. if it attempted, it’d probably at most make teeth marks in your pant leg.

    says me maybe it was a foot tall lol. But it was small and furry really cute with a sharp bark not sure if it was a terrier or some other type.

    i find it amusing that you think it was really cute, but still were afraid it’d bite you and wanted to kick it!

    WIY, this is why I get more nervous with small dogs than large dogs.

    Little dogs can bite your ankle more quickly than large dogs. BTW, I LOVE dogs, especially the mutts with soulful eyes.

    My in-laws have a frum family next door with an angry little chihuahua that they used to keep off the leash and unfenced. So far my only interaction with these people has been angrily shouting at them from with inside my car as the little animal attempts to kill my sedan. My in laws were always too nervous to say anything as they didn’t really speak much and wanted to have good relations with them.
