Someone on BlueSky is having a moan because a stranger crossed the street to get away from their dog.
“My dog is so gentle tho!”
My snake is adorable and wouldn’t/couldn’t hurt someone but that doesn’t magically cure people’s phobias.
Dog people 🙄

@girlonthenet@mastodon.social We have a lovely neighbor who is deathly afraid of dogs. We cross the street with our dog when we see her coming and usually have a nice chat across the road. Meet people where they are and don’t be an asshole. The world would be a better place if everybody followed this advice.

@girlonthenet@mastodon.social I cross the street with my dog if I see anyone coming. Feels like the polite thing to do.
