Teacher: Now, understand the problem? Solve this instance: So it happened this morning, and I feel pretty guilty about loosing my sh*t at the guy, I’m usually calm in most situations and have been attacked by two dogs myself a few years ago and didn’t go off at the owners, while at a dog park with my GSD, who is pretty placid. 

We were walking along the street like we do every morning , my wife and I walk to the bus stop for me to go to work. 

As were were waking two boxer dogs ran out from a yard (side gate apparently) and ran towards us, one back paddled and the other body slammed our GSD and my wife, she had the lead of our dog. I moved in to stop the dog, but it started lunging and biting my dog things escalated pretty quickly. 

I kicked the dog off my wife a few times and it kept coming back (our GSD didn’t retaliate which was good/lucky) few moments later of snarling, lunging and biting  the guy ran up and got his dog as it circled for another pass. 

I walked up to his face and said “are you fu*king kidding me, letting your dog off the lead like that, fu*k sakes” he said “they got out the gate.” My wife said “sorry (for me) it’s the shock”.  That I reacted like that.

(This was the only exchange of words)

In saying that the fella was a bit bigger than me mid 30s or so, he did seem like he was ready for me to hit him I could see that cross his mind (I have never been in a fight) but for me the thought didn’t cross mind. 

I turned around and walked away with our dog and wife, stopped around the corner checked on both of them, no blood drawn few scratch marks and a bit shaken up. 

My wife said my reaction was fair and hopefully it makes the guy a bit more vigilant next time. 

Anyway spent the whole way to work over thinking my reaction... I know I’d sign say anything I regret but it was a reaction personally I wasn’t expecting... am I the asshole? 

TLDR ; dog attacks wife and my dog, I scream at his face for letting his dogs loose.
