    Just be glad you don't get charged with assault.

    Although I think he deserved it, normal people don't hit people for something so small. So chances are you're a dickhead.

    Your uncontrolled animal in a public place stole his property (probably damaging it).

    You apologised and he merely forewarned you about what would happen if the situation occurred again.

    You overreacted and I hope you're facing criminal charges.

    Unless it's self defence, you're never justified in hitting someone no matter what they say to you.

    If he'd made contact with the dog it's open season as far as I'm concerned. Just be happy he missed and doggy can play another day.

    You sound like a right scumbag. You should have kept the dog on a leash if it was a public place as that's the law and you don't have special dispensation to ignore it if you feel like it.

    Hopefully the person has rang the Gardai and you'll be caught and done for assault. Where was this park as a matter of interest....

    You shouldn't have hit him, yes he was being a d1ck, but then again he shouldn't have to deal with your dog

    Whatever about other legalities around whether it was an off-leash park etc etc...............................I'm fairly certain there's no law governing dogs stealing property, but I'm sure attempted assault on an animal does have some fallout.
    As does smacking people......however satisfying it may be.

    Where is the third option: We were both wrong to let our dog run loose, without a muzzle, in a public place..

    Lots of people deserve punches but that doesn't necessarily mean you have to be the one to punch them. Complete overreaction in my view. Let the guy talk his ****, what difference does it make?

    Well you go around punching people when you're the one who's in the wrong, so yeah, you're a scummer.

    No doubt if the lads had 'lost their cool' like you did and decided to give you a few slaps of the their hurleys you'd be crying to the gards about it...

    And was that a splendid young chap who attempted to hit a dog with a hurley and speaking so nicely when the OP apologized?

    Some very righteous people on here, you must be all pushovers. There is no way he is facing charges from someone that swung a hurley at a dog first. He deserved a belt of the hurl himself from someone that could actually hit their intended target

    If the OP had followed the law in the first place and had his dog on a lead then none of this would have happened in the first place.

    But he didn't.

    OP I have dogs and I love them to bits but I also know how bloody annoying unleashed dogs can be when you are out in public. If someone doesn't understand dogs then you have to expect they are going to get pissed off if a dog gets in their way.

    For your dogs safety she should be on a lead, its the law for one thing. If she is an active dog then you have the option of dog parks she can go to.
