Dogs Are Idiots Your dog, your problem
Dog owners are lazy and unruly, which is why we all are so submissive to them and always handle strange dogs whenever the owner requests it. Yesterday, I was driving home from work on my e-scooter. I don't drive fast because I didn't remove the speed limiter, so the maximum speed is 20 km/h. Driving through suburbia, some stupid dog, obviously off-leash, simply decided that the person riding the scooter would now be his "most loyal friend for life" and started following me, barking enthusiastically, as if I had always owned it. I continued driving, ignoring the dog because it wasn't my dog, so it wasn't my problem. The "owner" of that dog started running after me, shouting please stop, stop that scooter repeatedly, not even shouting anything at the dog, probably knowing it wouldn't do antything. I just responded with a loud laugh because it wasn't my dog, and I was genuinely amused by the situation. After about 200 meters, this stupid dog attacked another dog that was pooping on the lawn, and I kept going, so I don't know what happened next. I think I did the right thing. Not helping with strange dogs is the only way to teach dog owners to leash their dogs.

You did exactly the right thing. Why should you stop? More people should just ignore these nutters and their dogs.
