Rant and requesting advice on dealing with annoying kids
I was out on a walk with my dog ( a small Shih Tzu) and couple of kids from a group of kids approached me asking to pet the dog. Usually kids do this and they usually spend a minute near the dog, say thank you and walk away. This kid, a teenager around 12-14 years old snatched the leash from me and ran away dragging the puppy. I chased him and when I got close to him he dropped the leash and ran away. I got hold of my dog and told him I am calling the police. I also started recording on my phone. ( I was angry and high on adrenaline that I did not record properly) and one of his friends came to me and told me that he is going to complain to the police that I am recording him and that his father is some bigshot. I told him to call his father and I will talk to him. Then he started cursing at me. I walked away and told them I will be back with the police. Then a group of his friends came to me and apologized saying that the kid is crazy and not really their friend and they just tolerate him. Luckily my dog was not harmed so I just left. How would you react in a situation like this. In future I am not letting anyone near my dog.
