When did I blame you or Bonzo? I fully recognise that there are such people as responsible and competent dog-owners. But you should also recognise there there are lots of the other kind, that they let your side down and they often cause a nuisance. If you were to hassle me in the street, or do a public poo, you would likely be arrested. I feel that I have the right to go around free from the unwanted attentions, and faeces, of out-of-control dogs. I suppose you consider that it's OK to have a dog pestering me in public "because he's only being friendly."   Yah boo sucks to that.
