Had a strange experience tonight.
My dog off lead, out for night walk. Meet a man walking a golden retriever on an extendable lead. My dog trots past it and then the retriever goes after my dog.
Like something out a cartoon, the extendable lead quickly took up the slack then yanked the guy off his feet. He is lying spreadeagled on the pavement. He gets onto his knees and then launches and catches the lead handle but the retriever then pulls him through the grass adjacent to the pavement.
I check he is ok, he is obviously embarrassed and I just decide to get out the way. Just as I catch up to my dog I hear a loud yelp from the retriever. Not sure what the guy did but the dog didn’t appreciate it!
I like to think I’m a pretty good judge of dogs, the way the retrievers tale was wagging it just wanted to play.
