Point Isabel Dog Park

Hi I'm Lloyd,
My owner is sometimes stressed on the weekends with all the dogs and owners running around Pt. Isabel.
I was playing 'rugby' this Sunday, with a new friend when a german shepard came up and challenged me to 'gladiator.' Being a 'pitty' I don't back down. Unfortunately this german shepard kept challenging me, so it took three calls from my owner to get me by his side. My owner mistakenly yelled 'control your dog' to the other owner. He should have yelled 'call your dog.' The shepard owner only saw rough play and thought nothing of it and continued with ball play with her two other dogs.
My owner felt the 'gladiator' activity could result in stitches, etc. so he wrongly controlled the other dog by kicking it. My owner felt very bad, but in a split second he broke up the engagement. (Later the owner of the first 'new rugby friend' said a dog fight was only 30 seconds away.)
My owner is over fifty, and didn't think he could really hurt the 70 pound shepard. But he did feel bad enough to post this note.
