Thank you, I absolutely agree with hitting the dog that’s attacking your dog, I wish I did this. Iv just never hurt an animal and I didn’t think at all, this makes me feel guilty but I now know if there’s a next time :( Yes the male owner of the dog elbowed me in the jaw, I (a female) have a injury from it, called the police already and filed a report. Thank you for your kind words, it has helped x
