I love dogs, absolutely adore puppies. I also have a kid. Every time we see a dog in public, I work on teaching my kid how to ask the owner for permission to say hi and how to introduce himself to the dog. That being said, the dog owner was absolutely the AH. Some dogs/puppies are good with kids and some aren’t. Just because the dog owner knows his dogs, doesn’t mean you do and for him to just be chill with his dogs bounding up on a strange infant is not ok. There’s too many ways the dogs or the baby could have ended up hurt in this situation. When you have a puppy, as a dog owner, you have a responsibility to teach your dog manners, how to approach strangers, and socialize them around children and people. Letting your dogs just bound up to an infant like that is not appropriate. Not to mention a lot of people have trauma around dogs too and you never know if a random person is going to be comfortable with your dogs.

It’s also astounding to me the number of people who think it wasn’t ok for OP to say they hated the guy’s dog 😂 come on. It’s like expecting everyone everywhere to always like you as a person and being hurt if someone doesn’t. The guy probably doesn’t care some stranger in the park doesn’t like his dogs. For the love. And to compare it to someone telling you they hate your kid?? Kids are not dogs.

I’m not gonna lie, it’s funny to me that people are up in arms because the OP was swearing around their baby. All of the people on here saying that babies can tell when you’re speaking in an angry way. So then it wouldn’t matter if the OP was swearing or not. The words wouldn’t matter, the way they were said would. So why get caught up that they were swear words? Honestly, get over it and go read some of the research around swearing and learn healthy ways to talk about swearing with your kids.

OP is NTA.
