Aggressive Dogs and even more Aggressive Owners

Refrain from bringing your dog to this park if its temperament mirrors that of my amicable Great Dane. In the four instances I visited this park, my dog had two bad experiences. On one particular occasion, an individual arrived with his Doberman, and when my dog approached to extend a friendly greeting, the Doberman attacked my dog, clamping its teeth onto my dog's side and adamantly refusing to relinquish the grip. I was nearby and tried to separate the dogs screaming to the Doberman's owner to pull his dog away. The response from the owner was indifferent saying 'They will sort it out.' I had to step in in between the dogs and finally managed to liberate my dog who now had 4 bleeding wounds on his side. I promptly left the park and have no intentions of returning. Furthermore, a recurrent issue is dogs who run around and bark and/or act aggressively towards other dogs, creating an unpleasant experience for everyone. Regrettably, the owners usually respond with something along the lines of "oh Jackie, be nice" as they sit in their chairs scrolling on their phones. The "Jackies" usually just ignore their owner.
