I must comment on the delusional opinion of Christine Haslam (Don't run up on my dog).

It appears that Christine would wish for the world (or maybe just the place in which she resides) to be made a sanctuary for just her and the 'large white fluffy dog', only that she purports may attack a runner minding their own business on a public footpath when passing by them so selfishly as they run along.

Yet this would be entirely the runners own fault if they got hurt.

Let us also not forget how any such person could have the audacity to expect Christine to take responsibility for that of her own dog, especially in the rain when one's hair may be affected ....... how selfish of everyone not to consider Christine's needs in this regard.

Christine's opinion may, of course, be a tongue in cheek attempt to gain a rise from others with such one sided, deluded, selfish and opinionated views. Well done for doing so if this is the case Christine.

If not, may I suggest that you go and purchase a private space somewhere only you and your large white fluffy dog may occupy, without others having the audacity to walk or run past you in a public space.

By the way, I am not a runner, I am a responsible dog owner.
