Today, my boyfriend has severe dog phobia, and a dog off its lead ran up to him in a car park. He panicked and tried to jump into the car, but the door hit it in the head and it started fitting and seizing. About three people called the police and the dog's owner broke our car window. FML

Today, I was driving with my dog. Looking out the half-open window he stepped on the switch, the window went up, causing his head to get stuck. I looked down and he had scared the shit out of himself, all over my shirt. FML

Bad boy

Today, I was driving home with my girlfriend. As we turned onto our block, she shrieked that our dog was running down the street and into traffic. I jumped out of the moving car and chased him for about a mile, only to give up, go home, and find out it wasn't our dog. FML

Today, after buying some groceries, I walked back to my car. After trying several times to get in the door, I finally look up and see a terrified little boy holding onto his teacup poodle for dear life, frantically waving me away. My car was two spots over. FML

Today, I was walking my husky when she saw a cat and bolted toward it. I couldn't let go of the leash because my hand was tangled up. Forced to run along, I ran into a parked van at full sprint. I lost my dog, broke two ribs and have to pay for the dent in the van. FML

Road rage

Today, my dog was riding my car's passenger seat. He clambered over onto my lap, causing me to lose control of the wheel for a few seconds. As I tried to knock him off me, I lost track of my speed, and ended up being pulled over for reckless driving. FML

Today, while driving, I witnessed the neighbors dog viciously shaking a black cat. So I slammed on the brakes and jumped out of the car, frantically chasing around the huge dog screaming "Help, someone please help!" I finally managed to tackle him and release the cat. It was a stuffed animal. FML

Today, my boyfriend finally let me take his dog on a walk, after two years of not trusting me to keep her safe. During the walk, a car drove by, causing her to run after it and pulling the leash out of my hand. Five hours later, and I still can't find her. FML

Today, I ran into a parked car and fell into the gutter. All because a dog suddenly barked at me. From the other side of a wooden fence. FML

Today, I swerved to avoid hitting a dog that ran in front of my car. The dog was fine but I hit a road sign, ripped off my rearview mirror, and cracked my passenger side window. When I got out to examine the damage to my car, the dog growled at me. FML

Honestly sounds like the dog owner should be fined for having the dog off it’s leash running after people. And pay for the broken window. But those dog lovers will attack people for saying less than that even.

They called the police on the dog owner, right? You don't have to have cynophobia (fear of dogs, you're welcome) to be startled when a strange dog runs up to you. The owners are responsible for controlling their dogs and avoiding such situations.

As a former dog owner, I agree. Many cities have leash laws. I legally threatened to shoot a neighbors pit bull because with no collar or harness, it rushed onto my property and after my wife. Authorities said since it charged my wife and was on my property, it would have been legal. I even drew the gun but never fired. I got the point across without having to injure or kill the dog, but the neighbor got the point. I like dogs, but uncontrolled, overly strong breeds can be dangerous when nothing controls them nor has the ability to limit it. I don’t take shooting animals lightly and exercised restraint. My wife is severely afraid of dogs after being attacked by one when you. It’s why we have cats, and because of the neighbors, all our catsare indoor cats (with claws, i’ll never declaw them)
