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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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?

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?

That guy is an idiot.. What if it was your dog and the guy attacked you? Wouldn't it occur to the man that the dog could have attacked him again to protect its owner? I know it's not OPs dog but I can't help but wonder what would happen if it was Op's dog..

Definitely should have called the police for that one. Could have had him arrested there and then, after you'd just done him a huge favour. FYL

Tell him it won't happen again, take the dog for your own, walk by his house every day and allow the dog to release the goods on his lawn. If he walks out to complain, remove said leash.

release the dog again so it can finish its job

You know how to handle aggressive dogs, but not aggressive people. Your education is lacking.

You never would've thought it would be the person attacking you instead of the aggressive dog

your fault, the dog was saving you from an asshole. the dog had it under control.

This is why I hate how short fml stories are forced to be... Additional details would be very helpful in this case, such as what OP means by "under control" and if anything happened after getting punched... Either way, that guy shouldn't have punched you for that. It never ceases to amaze me how quick people will turn to violence over the most mundane and stupid things.

Same here. I have a pit bull who is also a service dog and very sweet, and a random pit bull looking dog charged at my old lady neighbor and I grabbed it and she told me she would call the cops next time she saw it out. So I returned it to it's owner and warned them and the next time I was walking my extremely docile dog outside her house, she called the cops on me.
