Today, I saw a dog trying to attack a man. I have experience working with aggressive dogs, so I pulled the dog off him and got it under control. The man punched me in the face for not having my dog on a leash. It wasn't my dog. I don't even own a dog. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, a dog attacked me. Its owner, instead of apologizing and helping me, said it was my own fault for making it think I was an attacker by running past them. We were on a jogging track. FML
Today, I went for a run, and my own dog attacked me. FML
Today, I was mauled by my own dog. I own a Chihuahua. FML
Today, as I was walking my dog, some self-righteous animal activist berated me on how it was animal abuse to put my dog on a leash. Despite warning her, she crouched down to undo it, my dog charged at her, giving her a gash on the cheek. She kicked my dog for it, and is now threatening to sue me. FML
Today, I reached down to pet an elderly man's dog. It jumped up and utterly mauled my face, drawing blood. As I gasped in shock and pain, the man said, "Careful, he likes to scratch." FML
Today, a couple at the dog park, who seemed afraid of large dogs, tried to kick my dog for trying to say hi to them. They then called the police on me for lunging and yelling at the guy for trying to kick my dog. It's an off-leash dog park people, don't go there if you're afraid of dogs! FML
Today, I was at Petsmart with my puppy. Someone tried to pet him. I tried to warn the guy that he is a rescue and doesn't trust easily. He didn't listen and now wants to sue me for a dog bite that didn't even break the skin. FML
Today, I was trying to relieve a dog that looked like it was choking because it was tied to a pole while its owner was in a restaurant. The owner called a security guard because she was convinced I was trying to steal her dog. FML
Today, I got attacked by my own dog. I don't know what will be harder, telling everyone how my dog thought I was a robber or explaining to them why a 25 year old man owns a poodle. FML
Today, I got mugged while walking my dog. He seemed to be OK with it. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

You know, I could see a guy yelling at you for not keeping (what he believed was) your dog leashed. However, to HIT you for it? That goes a little too far in my book. Release the beast and let it eat him.

What ever happened to being grateful of having someone helping you from having a trip to the ER?

sounds like you barked up the wrong tree.

You may have saved the guy from being seriously injured, and he had the nerve to punch you? I cannot believe the way people behave. I suggest that you press charges against him . I hope that you feel better.

Seems pike there are a lot of fmls where people resort to physical violence after jumping to conclusions. Doesn't anyone think before they act anymore?

Anger seems to take precedence in today's day and age. Sadly, people are quick to respond with anger when they just don't want to deal with it anymore.

I'm sure many do; such events just don't lead to FML posts. "Today I saved a man from a savage dog. Understandably peeved, he asked me why I let my dog loose. I informed him it wasn't mine, and he apologized, then thanked me for helping him. FML"

This is also the main reason you rarely hear anything nice in the news. Doesn't make a good story and the result is, people think the entire world is gone bad.

Lets hope the owner found the dog and kept it from savaging anyone else. Owners like that give good dog owners a bad name!

I wonder how mean the dog really was if a total stranger was able to calm him down. That fact makes me wonder if the man was provoking the attack in some way as well. FYL, the guy shouldn't have punched you.

It doesn't say the dog calmed down, it says it was under control. OP could have been kneeling on it's neck or something to keep it contained.

Calm and assertive

I would consider "under control" to be kinda calm. It's definitely calm when he was "attacking." I apologize for not making my original words clearer, though.

Again we learn, no good deed goes unpunished. Seriously

Um a hit to the face is not a nice way to say thanks for saving his life.... How rude -_-

I would have let the dog bite his legs off

I hope you told him it wasn't your dog... If he had any common sense that would really embarras him and he'd learn a lesson. He's still an idiot for even punching somebody at all, though! -_-
