"I finally grab it by the collar and take it to the otherside of the bar and leave it. Clearly the owner doesn't care if its wandering."

Interacting with people's dogs is always a gamble; some dogs are less social than others, and you can never predict how they will react to your approach. That's why it's crucial to ask for the owner's permission before rushing and doing anything that might backfire on you. 

Some dogs are visibly friendly and will even come to you if the opportunity presents itself. They want to get as much love from people as they possibly can, and that means potentially interacting with every passerby. 

Friendly dogs sometimes find themselves in weird situations when they approach someone who's either not that big of a fan of dogs or scared of dogs. That's something their owners constantly have to look out for to avoid any negative confrontations. 

A Redditor who goes by the username u/brewerythrowawaysdf made a post on the r/AmItheA**hole where he explained how he and his wife got kicked out of a dog-friendly brewery after he had an extreme reaction to an unleashed dog repeatedly approaching their table. The user believes they got treated unfairly but is still unsure whether he had the appropriate reaction. 

The Reddit community had a lot of different reactions to the user's post. Scroll down to check out the full Reddit post, and scroll a little further to read the comments from the original post. 

Here's the original post by Reddit user u/brewerythrowawaysdf:

OP and his wife always do their best to avoid dogs since they don't like them.

An unleashed dog approached OP and his wife's table and refused to go away.

After it happened a second time, OP had enough and decided to speak out.

OP eventually modified the post to include an "Edit."

OP thinks he might be the a-hole for the following reason:

Here's how the Reddit community reacted to u/brewerythrowawaysdf's post:

The brewery's off-leash rule sounds like a recipe for disaster.

Even in leash-free locations, you're still supposed to keep an eye on your dog.

The dog didn't do anything wrong and was just friendly.

You can't complain when you've been warned beforehand.

OP should have had a more calm and collected reaction.

"There are degrees of kid and dog friendly."

The brewery requires dogs to be on leashes, but the rule is never enforced.

OP needs to learn how to control his temper, especially around dogs.

Screaming will get you kicked out of places.

OP seems to be hiding something for some reason.

OP could have dealt with the situation without getting verbally aggressive.

"A dog-friendly place is not the place to go if you don’t like them..."

Dog owners are responsible for what their pets do.

The rule should have been enforced by the brewery owners.

Op should have dealt with the situation differently. The brewery owners had every right to kick them out after the scene OP caused.

Op could have formally complained about the situation without resorting to screaming and cursing. If you enjoyed reading this, make sure to check out similar content on our platform.
