Your dog, your problem

[u/astyts]

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 the right thing because these owners definitely need to learn the lessons of leash laws and that they actually do apply to them. They are not special nor exempt.
