Good for you for leaving. I've actually had some weird experiences with my dogs and drunk/drugged people over the years. Gaud... even some stupid sober people who were clueless about body language, etc.... I had one guy, while Scarling was going through her fear stage, and she's kinda skittish anyway, lean over her and glare at her. Scared the livin' crap out of her and she was running in circles around him, barking, running away from me. I couldn't catch her for a couple minutes so I lied down on the ground and she came running to me and I scooped her up and put her in the house and gave him a nice lecture. He wasn't trying to be as asshole, and in fact really likes the dogs and did it more out of play not realizing it would freak her out. I have such a soft spot for the shy dogs probably because I was so shy as a kid.
