Australians have been left divided over who is to blame after a wild video captured dog owners fighting over a loose pet and one of them threatening to call police.
Video showed a woman standing near the park entrance and telling a man with a loose dog outside the area to put his pet on a leash so she could leave.
“Can you hurry up and get your dog so we can leave? You’re blocking us from leaving,” she yelled at him.
His manic dog continued to run back and forth between them.
“Stop talking, stop talking,” the man replied. “He’s not an attack dog.”
“Mine is it,” the woman said, as the man’s dog continued to run around her.
‘Go get your dog so we can leave. We can’t leave because your dog is there.’
“And what is mine going to do?” the man asked.
Three dog owners clashed at a dog park and one woman’s behavior sparked a heated debate
“My dog will catch your dog. Can you catch your dog?” he yelled at her.
“So the problem is yours,” he replied, still refusing to put a leash on his dog.
The confrontation then escalated when the woman told her partner to call the police.
“I’m going to call the fucking police. Fuck off or I’m calling the police right now,” his partner yelled off-screen.
“You’re literally stopping us from leaving, yeah, I can’t grab (the dog) until he’s gone,” she said.
The man then walked slowly away with his dog still loose.
Social media users were divided, with many defending the woman.
“The dog owner is irresponsible. He has every right to complain,” one person wrote.
“You are absolutely right. He is an irresponsible guy. I have seen many dogs on a leash attacking loose dogs without respecting the boundaries,” wrote another.
“That dog is totally out of control, and my dog would bite him if he approached him like that,” wrote a third.
“I would just tell the guy that I’m going to leash my dog and go out with him, but if his dog gets close to mine, it’s not my fault if my dog bites his dog.”
But not everyone was on her side and many said her dog was the problem.
“Has anyone else noticed that Karens have become an invasive species in Australia?” one asked.
“That man did none of that, you two are exaggerating,” wrote another.
One man sarcastically wrote: “My dog will attack your dog so I will call the police if you don’t leave.”
