Yes katanita that is the impression I get ... Its a park... There are dogs in the park.. If your kid is scared of dogs then stay away if you spot a dog... No kid is born with a fear. I felt from the original post that the parent is keeping the fear alive in the kid so don't be a hypocrite mate, calling someone a 'w**nker' is not called for. I didn't realise banter was such a terrible word to use. But you don't know me so don't insult me, insulting my opinions is fine but not me

I am relieved to hear that there is someone who has not lost the plot on this forum MissMadMoo

Yes I would. I would say this all in person. In fact I have done, I am not a 'w**nker' as you put it. I merely think that the post was ridiculous. We are all entitled to our own opinions are we not. I do not need to spend time thinking about what kind of person I am thanks for the suggestion though but maybe you could take it on board too, calling someone a 'w**nker' is pretty over the top for the likes of East dulwich forum is it not?

What if it's a puppy? Wish some kids would heel at a whistle

kid needs to man up

I think you need to chill mate , seriously learn the art of banter

So you walk through a park and you don't expect to encounter dogs? How utterly ridiculous I think you are making it worse for the kid to be honest, in my opinion it is the adult who has the fear and then this gets taken on by the kid Dogs are aloud to run about in most parts of Peckham park, I think people need to remember that dogs are unpredictable just as much as little kids are. Seriously I think you are making things worse for your kid
