Can the Adults Please Smoke? Chapter 35: Look Who's Here,We're Still Here!! — Page 151

I had a very disconcerting experience yesterday in the park. This little girl, about 4 years old and parents nowhere in sight, kept following Max and me. At first I was polite and let her pet him, but she kept following me and trying to play with Max, getting him agitated and out of control. Just as I bent down to pick him up so I could get the hell out of there, she tried to get him to "sit," and when he wouldn't she HIT him! She hit him so hard he yelped and jumped into my arms. I was so shocked and enraged, but I kept my cool and just held him and walked out of the park, saying "I'm taking him home now." She followed me all the way out to the street but I kept going, hoping she'd be hit by a bus. For all I know she is still wandering the streets. I don't care.
Where the hell were the parents?
Max was fine by the time we got home, but I was shaken all night.

I know Max is a magnet for nearly everyone -- he is a beautiful dog, and he's very, very friendly in that irresistible puppy way. But I stick to my original thoughts from 30 years ago: I like children, well done with steak sauce on the side.

But at that moment, in the park -- the best option was to get out of there as quickly as possible without attracting too much attention. I would have been in a no-win situation had I done anything else.

1: didn't want to have to stay in the area, which I know from experience they would have asked me to do.
2: was so enraged I truly didn't care about the welfare of the child. There, I said it.
