Had a labrador go at me, teeth and all this weekend leading from Bolton Abbey to Burnsall Fell. The dog started barking and going crazy from well away, the owner had plenty of time but decided just to let the dog carry on.. I reached her, she still did nothing, the dog was barking, jumping and snapping at me.

All she said was she doesn't normally bite people (as though it was my fault).. I asked her to put the dog on a lead so I can continue my run, she didn't... So I had to walk for about 5 mins to get away from her.

I was nice, I admired her beautiful snarling dog, smiled and went on my way. I've tried to be nice, as previously I would tell her to F**K off and put the dog on a lead or I would report her.. I think I'll change tack and start of letting my anger out on them again, because it ruined the rest of my run.

Seems like these people think their dog has a right to attack people who run.
