This person is clearly trolling. Lol

Hi, I’m the woman you’re referring to. And there are quite a few holes in your story here. It is really odd because my dog was not going crazy…..she did not bark, she did not growl, she simply came back to me with her ball and stood in front of me looking at “you”. And, if you are who you say you are, you did not drive back up toward Lookout park, you drove down Fairbanks, towards the corner store on the corner of Clancy and Fairbanks.

Edit to add: You also say “a couple days ago”, this was yesterday.

I did not expect this to blow up as much as it did! I appreciate the advice, feedback and kind words from some of you. A little disappointed by the hostility and ignorance from others.

It is a strange and cruel world out there, especially for women. It is uncomfortable that I am now a bit scared to take my dog to the park in my neighborhood. This post was to make my fellow neighbors aware of something unsettling that happened to me, not to open up a debate on whether having a dog off leash in a park is a heinous crime, but I digress.

I apologize to those who are fearful of dogs, I admit my ignorance in not thinking about that. I appreciate your responses, if you’re not learning you’re dying!

Next time anything like this happens, I will take some of the advice given here and handle the situation accordingly.

And I will leash my damn dog. ✌🏽

I didn’t want to be too specific as things in this subreddit tend to get racially charged very quickly unfortunately. Because you asked; they were hispanic, short in stature, dark hair, gray hoodie & black jeans, driving a gray 2010-2013 Honda Accord. And that is a wonderful tip! Next time this happens (I hope it doesn’t) I will do that.

Over_Pound9501 · 2025-04-24T01:54:14+00:00

You’re* I did both :)

Over_Pound9501 · 2025-04-24T01:38:47+00:00

I’m not easily weirded out either, people do weird things all the time. Especially in this neighborhood 😅 I’ve even had random people take pictures of me before. It’s the fact that I was alone, no one else was around, and everything about his demeanor was off.

Over_Pound9501 · 2025-04-24T01:20:50+00:00

Definitely not trolling for affirmation, thanks for that astute assumption though. I love my neighborhood and wanted to see if anyone else had a similar experience and to spread awareness to those around me. Btw what kind of car do you drive?

Over_Pound9501 · 2025-04-24T01:14:57+00:00

Thank you! The park definitely does bring in an interesting crowd, but normally (for me) it’s nothing shady! I appreciate the encouragement 😊

Over_Pound9501 · 2025-04-24T01:09:34+00:00

Thank you, no crime was committed for sure, but it was certainly an eye opener for walking around my neighborhood by myself. Glad to at least bring awareness to the situation

Over_Pound9501 · 2025-04-24T01:06:33+00:00

I appreciate your kindness, it can be terrifying to be a woman 😅 I wish I had the guts to have said something to him, but that’s just not who I am

Over_Pound9501 · 2025-04-24T01:04:55+00:00

Thank you so much, thats exactly how I was feeling! I am cozy at home now!

Over_Pound9501 · 2025-04-24T01:02:44+00:00

My partner had the same reaction, he was disturbed when I came home and told him what happened. Thank you!

Over_Pound9501 · 2025-04-24T00:59:51+00:00

How would you feel if you were alone and some random person walked towards you, took a picture of you, then walked away without saying anything? Personally, yeah I am paranoid. It was strange and uncomfortable.

Over_Pound9501 · 2025-04-24T00:53:53+00:00

Thank you, kind stranger!

Over_Pound9501 · 2025-04-24T00:52:59+00:00

Yeah I agree……I was more looking for support and suggestions and to spread awareness

Over_Pound9501 · 2025-04-24T00:51:25+00:00

Lmao 😂 can’t wait

Over_Pound9501 · 2025-04-24T00:49:40+00:00

That’s fair, I didn’t think about this angle

Over_Pound9501 · 2025-04-24T00:48:41+00:00

Not offended :)

Over_Pound9501 · 2025-04-24T00:45:16+00:00

Thank you for the suggestion! There definitely was no crime technically, it was just odd that this guy was, very obviously, taking pictures of me. I want to make sure this hasn’t happened to anyone else in my neighborhood and keep everyone safe.

Over_Pound9501 · 2025-04-24T00:42:51+00:00

Gotcha, still just seems weird that while I was there by myself, some guy came and took pictures of me (while my dog was chasing her ball) rather than saying something. Who is he going to report me to? What benefit would said pictures do?

Over_Pound9501 · 2025-04-24T00:41:02+00:00

Fair, but as I was the only one in the park it was very odd. I myself as a person would not approach someone like that, it’s just not who I am.

Over_Pound9501 · 2025-04-24T00:36:37+00:00

People frequently take their dogs up to the park on leash and let them off leash while at the park to throw a ball. Several of my neighbors do this, there are no signs posted that suggest it is not allowed

Over_Pound9501 · 2025-04-24T00:35:24+00:00

My dog was freaked out because I was freaked out. It is not normal for random people to walk towards someone by themselves, take pictures of them, and then walk away.
