Little story about being yelled at by a stranger for someone else's dog being off a lead. By someone whose dog was off a lead.
Is it just me... I'm sensing a lot of anger out there and all of it might be misplaced.
For once it's good to be on the receiving end and end up gaining something from it.
I got yelled at for someone else's dog

but I’m slightly on the back foot because...
[LAUGHTER]
hello I’m Neil welcome back to the channel
this is the Dad delivers vlog where I try something new every day
and today the thing I’m trying is getting screamed out by some random stranger about someone else's dog
it's a bit of a different video for the channel but I’m going to try... and try and do this
I’m here in this beautiful park that's the size of a field
and I’m here with Casper who's a star of the channel
and something happened about two hours ago and I thought I’d try to... to share it
it's a situation that I... I got into I walked into it quite literally and I think we've all been on both sides of this situation
it's Sunday afternoon we've come here for a picnic for one of my daughter's friends and some of us have brought dogs with us
we've brought Casper and the dogs really know this park
they come here pretty much every day
one of the dogs is younger... he's really excited so he's just like running everywhere around the park and it's as you can see - it isn't any busier than this
so he's run off a few times and he's taken off after this little like terrier dog in the distance
it was actually over here at the end of the field
his owner who's a friend he was... you know calling for him to come back and you know he eventually came back
and then I’ve gone to take Casper for a walk so I’ve gone for a jog with Casper
and this... this friend's dog has kind of run along with us the whole length of the field
as you can see is... it is a huge field that's a park for a village and I thought well that's... that's nice isn't it
we'll all go running together even though this dog has nothing to do with me whatsoever
the friend's dog then sees this terrier in the distance and tears off for it again to play with it
you know just to jump around and you know be friendly
it was not aggressive at all
he's just playing because he's practically a puppy and my dog Casper followed after him so I’ve gone jogging after Casper and then from nowhere the owner of this terrier starts screaming at me
get your dog on a bloody lead!
and I knew that she was angry at the friend's dog from... for running over earlier but I’m slightly on the back foot because
[LAUGHTER]
but I’m slightly on the back foot because Casper's not on a lead
but he's with me!
you know we're running together
get your bloody dog on a lead!
and I... I... I don't know what to say because it's not my dog!
it's not my dog it's got nothing to do with me
my dog is okay and he's now over there
it's nowhere near this woman's dog and nothing was happening as well
it was just a puppy playing with this terrier but it's not my dog!
neither of these dogs are mine
I said get your bloody dog on a lead!
so I’m now frozen because I’m thinking it's not my dog so the only response I can give is... hello
I’m Neil
and she just kind of stood there like this
what's that got to do with anything
so I said again, hello my name is Neil!
get your bloody dog on a lead
so I go “okay. small problem. it's not my dog”
and she goes - without missing a beat she was... the rage that she was in
she's still in order mode
well whose dog is it then?!
it's like... I’m now gonna answer this order and now I’m thinking hang on I... I do not have to answer any more questions from this ludicrous screaming at me
well whose dog is it then and...
and my only reply was
“well maybe that should have been your first question?”
and then you could kind of see her head kind of implode and she couldn't yell at me anymore and she kind of crumpled and I walked off to get to get Casper
mainly because I wanted to keep him away from this angry woman who's yelling at us for someone else's dog
and to my shame I... I actually did put Casper on a lead and it's because I wanted to get out of the situation I wish...
I wish... why didn't I just get my camera out
and I don't know why because it was a really funny situation
I’m getting... everything I do in life is wrong obviously
but I’m now getting yelled at for other people's dogs
and then she sort of... she didn't know what to do and then she sort of called after me but I... I didn't want anything to do with it
I just wanted to get away from this weird woman
have you been in this situation where you're just getting screamed at for no reason
it is gorgeous look at it
why would you be angry at anything when you've got the chance to be here for time with your dog
your precious little dog
why are you screaming at strangers
but I wrote down in the... in the hour between then and now I wrote down 10 things I should be grateful for
and I’m going to share them with you right now
number 10 realizing that I should have got my camera out
it's a really great learn
I’m gonna get my camera out next time I’m screamed at in public for someone else's dog
number nine I’m not her
the number eight reason that I’m grateful is that I’ve been in her exact same position
yelling at an owner in a park for not having their dog on a lead that was jumping up at me
really embarrassed about that now and grateful that it's not me
I guess at least I got the right owner
number seven it's healthy to get yelled at from time to time
even if it is about something that's got nothing to do with you
number six I kept a cool head and I think I was even a little bit funny
which to be fair was easy seeing as it wasn't my dog
number five look at it... it is a gorgeous day how could this not be your first thing on your mind
I even called this out too I’m so proud that I shouted back “it's a lovely day isn't it!”
number four I’m... I’m glad really glad that I didn't take the conversation down market and that was really difficult
number three she had to walk away taking with her that big cloud of negativity and darkness
this has happened to me a few times when someone speaks out in front of you or plays alpha and you say nothing and you just let it play out and watch them kind of slowly trip over and fall and land flat on their face
it is the best feeling in the world when you have done nothing
when you don't do anything you just let them be obnoxious and wrong and then they've got to walk away
and that's a long walk
that's a long hard walk and I’m sharing this because I think we might have all been in that situation at some time or another
although for some of us it's probably when we were toddlers
number two is I’m not her and her punishment is her life
and the number one reason to be grateful is I’m not her dog
can you imagine living with that
anyway thanks for letting me sound off let me share a story
I know this is slightly different for the channel
have you ever been in a similar situation oh
have you ever been in a situation like this on one side or the other say hello and share it in the comments I’d love to hear them and right here is what youtube thinks you would love to see next
