Today, I was walking down the street when a police officer started walking behind me with his dog. I sped up and tried to cross the road. He took this as suspicious and got the dog to take me to the floor. I've been afraid of dogs since I was 5. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was threatened with arrest for refusing to accept a citation for having a dog off leash in a park. It wasn’t my fucking dog! It was a very friendly stray that started following me on my morning walk. I tried to explain myself but the dog wouldn’t leave my side or stop barking at the cop. FML
Today, knowing very well that I need to be more active, I went for a walk. It quickly turned into a sprint when I was attacked and chased by a dog. FML
Today, I got mugged while walking my dog. He seemed to be OK with it. FML
Today, I was walking my dog when a lady approached me, commented how beautiful she was, and asked to pet her. I obliged and next thing I knew I was pushed to the ground and maced. She made off with my dog. The police is unable to locate them. FML
Today, I took my dog for a walk. He became friendly with another dog, and I reached down to pet them both. Suddenly, an old woman ran up to me and whacked me with her cane repeatedly. Apparently, her previous dog had been kidnapped by a woman who looked a lot like me. FML
Today, I got pulled over by the cops for swerving a lot while driving. I tried to explain that my dog bit the back of my neck, but as soon as I opened my door to show him the bite marks and the dog, he ran out of the car. I still can't find him. FML
Today, I went for a walk. I was repeatedly barked at, and almost attacked, by nearly a dozen dogs. I have cynophobia from being nearly killed by violent untrained dogs on several occasions, so just hearing a dog bark gives me severe heart palpitations. I'm not kidding when I say I almost had a heart attack. FML
Today, I came home on crutches. My dog was immediately afraid of them, and came running towards me, growling and barking. She ran right into me, knocking me over. FML
Today, I was walking my dog when I tripped on the leash, dropping his treat bag. He snatched one, looked at me, and ran full speed in the opposite direction. I had to chase him for three blocks, yelling his name. He thought it was a new game. FML
Today, I was walking my dog when another dog barked at him. My dog ran, pulling me with him. I fell to the ground in pain, with my hand still holding the leash. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Yes, I would've preferred it if was something more gentle that had taken me down as well. Maybe a turtle perhaps? Or a sloth?

lol afraid of a dog? ridiculoussss yeah I understand the only breed u can possibly be afraid of is the pitbulls coz they're just naturally violent coz of what happened to that little girl a pitbull runs in and mauls her to death

Although I'm sure you've been flamed already, THEY ARE NOT NATURALLY VIOLENT. Bad PEOPLE choose pit bulls and it gives the breed a bad name. Also, YOU CAN'T BE SURE THAT A DOG IS A PIT JUST FROM THE LOOK OF IT. A study showed that a good 50% of "pit bulls" in a shelter did not have any pit bull genes upon genetic testing. And YES they can genetic test dogs.

Pits are not naturally violent. They're actually a nanny breed, so called because of their natural instinct to protect. They used to be used as a guard dog to protect children. It's the fault of bad humans that they have a bad reputation now. They used to say the same about Dobermans and Rottweilers

Cops can be total a-holes. I was just chillin in a field one day minding my own business, taking in the view. Long story short I got my BS in Urban Forestry so nature's my thing, but I guess bummin around on government owned park land is considered suspicious. IDI, because I look like a suspicious character 0.o hmm... Apparently, nature was closed to the public that day.

@#153 Dude i have grown up with pit bulls and never have been bitten by one , although i a have bitten and gotten stiches nuerous times by chihuahuas and daschunds, even once bye a poodle. I didnt even get bit when i stole a pit bull and a cop was across the street with a fat rotweiler tied to a tree. stop being a stereotype, pitbulls are one of the best dogs you can have. #ThinkAboutIt, #GetALife,#PersonalRealShit

cop did not have probable cause to send that dog off, the cop will get into a lot of trouble.. for ex: they can't just go into someone's car cause they "think" something is in it that is illegal, they need hard core proof that gives them a reason to search the car!

you will note that the OP is from the UK. I usually just read the last few comments by hovering my mouse over the fml ID number for the post, and I saw yours and couldn't resist this: Section 1 of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 - (1)A constable may exercise any power conferred by this section— (a)in any place to which at the time when he proposes to exercise the power the public or any section of the public has access, on payment or otherwise, as of right or by virtue of express or implied permission; or (b)in any other place to which people have ready access at the time when he proposes to exercise the power but which is not a dwelling. (2)Subject to subsection (3) to (5) below, a constable— (a)may search— (i)any person or vehicle; (ii)anything which is in or on a vehicle, for stolen or prohibited articles or any article to which subsection (8A) below applies or any firework to which subsection (8B) below applies ; and b)may detain a person or vehicle for the purpose of such a search. (3)This section does not give a constable power to search a person or vehicle or anything in or on a vehicle unless he has reasonable grounds for suspecting that he will find stolen or prohibited articles Notice, the police officer at ANY TIME can exercise a search if he has REASONABLE GROUNDS for suspicion, and furthermore MAY DETAIN THE PERSON FOR THAT SEARCH. And in response to your particular piece of bullshit, THAT DOES INCLUDE CARS. Now either learn the law or don't talk shit pretending you know it. And don't give me any crap about how speeding up when you see a policeman with a dog (which can be used to smell drugs) doesn't give him reasonable grounds for suspecting that OP may have had drugs (or other prohibited articles) on him. OP, sorry you were scared of dogs and that this happened. Hopefully it was sorted fairly quickly, dog handlers tend to be the older members of a police force with experience and knowledge (see channel 4 on demand, tv show called coppers, episode 7 about dog handlers)
