OMG.. So I was walking Cider.. we are working on loose leash walking. Dickie Dee guy is coming down the street every so often ringing his bells. Gets 20-30ft to Cider, starts ringing them out of control non stop. Cider strains at the end of the leash, freaks out, and snaps the end of the leash she is so scared, and the guy thinks it's hilarious.
I miraculously call her back, and we have to jog for more than a block to get away from him because he won't leave her alone.
I called dickie dee in town, they are really sorry, and plan to tell their people to leave dogs alone.
Nearly had a heart attack over it, came home and I was shaking more than her...
Guess that'll nicely regress our walking skills but at least she didn't bolt in front of a car or just keep running.

For those who do not know what a Dickie Dee is, its a person that peddles an icecream cart that looks like its attached to a bike.
I was gonna ask. I thought maybe some kind of hare krishna bell ringing zealot or something.

If you weren't so far away I'd offer Kali to you to help get revenge. Kali loves icecream and would probably take out the cart and the dude. An over excited Kali-monster would definitely cause serious pant-crappage!! ;D Haha I'm sooo evil sometimes!!

This sounds like the way to go! I think I'd be tempted to go find the guy and put a serious hurting on him. >:( He needs to lose his job.

Oh, that is horrible! I didn't know what a dickie dee guy was, but I can assure you Gunther would react in the exact same way. He's skittish around bicycles already, and add a bell and I would have 124 lbs of freaked out dog. >:(
I would start carrying some pepper spray with me. Of course he didnt' get close enough for you to use it, but if he had, he would have thought twice about scaring dogs and their people.

ROTFLMAO that is the best thing I've heard all damn day..
I've had bad run-in's in my normal life with creepy folk.. To the point where I started joking with friends I needed a dane or dobe for protection (in looks only figured most losers would be scared even if it was a sucky loving dog).Â
I'll take anyone's baby's for babysitting though. lol. Love to scare our a** of a mailperson too, his attitude towards my furbaby has been harsh with her in my own yard..
She's always been sketchy with bikes even though I'm not sure she saw that this was a bike through the freezer. But he was so loud neighbourhood dogs were howling..
*kicks dickie dee guy*
Imagine if I had a breed the general public percieves as scary though and my dog broke loose? Could have been a nightmare..
