CAUTION!! DOG OWNERS NOT WATCHING THEIR DOGS

I'VE BEEN AN EDMOND RESIDENT FOR THE PAST 40 YRS AND CANNOT TELL YOU HOW DISAPPOINTED I AM IN THE PET OWNERS WHO ATTEND THIS DOG PARK. I HAVE A SMALL/MEDIUM DOG WHO I TOOK INTO THE GENERAL DOG PARK AS THERE WERE NO DOGS IN THE SMALL DOG AREA. I KEPT MY DOG ON HER LEASH . 4 LARGE BREED DOGS CAME RUNNING OVER TO MY DOG AND TRYING TO GRAB HER. SHE WAS LITERALLY SCREAMING, AND I DON'T THINK SHE WOULD BE HERE TODAY IF I HADN'T HAD HER ON A LEASH. I PULLED HER UP BY HER LEASH INTO MY ARMS WHILE THE DOGS WERE CONTINUING TO JUMP UP AND GRAB AT HER. I WAS SCREAMING "HELP" AND NO ONE CAME TO MY AID UNTIL I ASKED AN OLDER GENTLEMAN IF HE WOULD HOLD HER UP HIGH ENOUGH THAT THE DOGS COULDN'T GET HER SINCE I'M ONLY 5'2". EVERYONE IN THE PARK COULD HEAR WHAT WAS GOING ON AND THEY WERE ALL STARING BUT NO ONE RUSHED OVER TO PULL THEIR DOG OFF OF ME AND MY DOG OR JUST COME OVER TO HELP BECAUSE SOMEONE WAS IN NEED OF HELP. MY DOG WAS ONLY 2 AT THE TIME, AND TO THIS DAY SHE IS AFRAID OF LARGE DOGS. I WILL NEVER GO BACK AND SERIOUSLY WARM OTHERS TO WATCH THEIR DOGS IF YOU VALUE THEM, BECAUSE SOME OWNERS AREN'T RESPONSIBLE.
