She wanted me charged for hurting her fufu and the cop gave her a ticket for failing to use a leash. She didn't even have one so the dog was just loose in the city park. Then to make it worse for her he wanted to know if I wanted to go after her in civil court and if I wanted here info. I declined because the bike was fine and I was just a bit roughed up.
SHE WAS PISSED!!! Poor dog was probably really injured and I felt bad for the dog but don't know the outcome of "fufu".
Two such small dog incidents in the last two years. Both times, I chose to completely stop and get off of the bike because the under the wheel thing seemed like the only real threat. The second one, I actually stood in the middle of the road to stop traffic while the kid tried to catch his dog because the dog took off away from me when I got off. By the end of that incident, I think there were about 5 people chasing the little rat and cars were stopped in both directions. The poor kid was mortified but probably learned his lesson about leashing.
