Plot twist Liam and Noel never fell out and they’ve had all our pants down for years in order to mastermind the biggest pay day ever

I would like to thank Noel’s ex wife for pissing him off so much, to the point he wants to make money back, and decided to put up with Liam. We couldn’t have done without you Ma’am (I am not criticizing her)

I’m one of the biggest animal advocates on the Planet. I adore dogs. These animals are weapons, not Pets. The fact you want to own one, should disqualify you from owning any Dog. Ever. Schoolgirl, ten, rushed to hospital after being mauled by XL Bully mol.im/a/13660415

You should keep your dog on a leash and guide it to the opposite side of the path when you see another person approaching. This lets the other person know you have your dog under control and are being mindful of their personal space. If your dog is not under your control and…

You not minding doesnt mean others share your feelings. He may just not like animals, he may have sever ptsd from a dog attack, you never know hence, no dog owner should allow their animal to approach without consent. If your dog cannot heal on demand, keep on lead around people

Inexcusable. However, also best not to let your dogs do this. I was running on beach yesterday and dog ran over 'to say hello' and wound around my legs. I almost went down. I did my English thing and appologised to the owner... but I was a little cross.

Yesterday, a man kicked Moobear in the face as she went up to say hello as he sat on a bench. She yelped. Thankfully, she is physically ok. But we are both just a little bit less in love with things today

Your dog 'going up to say hello' is not everyone's cup of tea, Charlot. Some people are cynophobic. Keep your dog on a lead, then she would not have been kicked in the face.

Not everyone wants to pet or love your dog. If your dog can’t respect the spaces of others keep them on a leash. Even small dogs, don’t let them do whatever they like.

I wouldn’t hit an animal, but I despise people who don’t respect other people’s personal space. I don’t let my children go into other people’s face and “say hello”. I expect others to do the same with their children/pets 🙏

I do not condone violence against ANY living being, but PLEASE have your dog on a leash or train them well enough to NOT approach strangers. You never know if someone has had a BAD dog experience. Also tired of the “ They just wanted to say hi!” Mentality.

Not everyone can cope with being approached by a dog. Please remember that if you think your dog is adorable or 'just being friendly'.

Where to start with this. - Kicking dogs in the face is clearly not ok (no idea what provoked that reaction / what past events triggered that response) - Allowing your dog to approach unknown people in public is antisocial, rude, selfish, entitled behaviour. Put it on a lead.

Not speaking to this particular case, but generally: Some people are allergic to dogs. Some people are frightened of dogs. Some people just don't like dogs. And nobody has to submit to physical contact with strange dogs. Dog owners should control their pets in public.

Hi! I don’t kick dogs but I don’t want dogs coming up to me due to PTSD. I will extend my leg into the dog’s face or body to keep it away from me. Thank you!

This could be complemented with a dog park in every town and village so that the dogs could get that exercise and general public wouldn’t be at risk. This could also improve dog fouling issues as some of that must be dogs allowed to wander, plus if dog owners more likely to go

Maybe it’s time to look again at the leash laws in r country. V v few dogs would b a threat outside the house if they were kept on a lead @ all times, they wld not have opportunity 2 attack & even on long lead, there’d b a point @ which ud b beyond reach bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…

Not sure why I feel the need to say 'sorry' I'm afraid of dogs when I'm asking an owner to pull their dog back or to put it on a lead. Surely they should be the ones saying sorry to me for letting their dog run right up to me without checking I was actually okay with that?
