Prospect Park -- Unleashed dog jumped on me with paws on my face

<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>10:30 a.m. this morning--NOT during off-leash hours. A large white lab mix bounded right at me and put its paws on my face. I was standing near the edge of the Nethermead birdwatching. His owner said, "Oh sorry, he's just really friendly." (!!) I asked/told them to leash the dog right then and there and told them to make sure they keep their dog on a leash unless it's specifically off-leash hours and times.</p> <p>I don't go near the Meadow or Nethermead or Peninsula lawn during off-leash hours. But dog people, please learn and follow the rules; I asked the guy if he knew when off-leash hours were and he said, "I have no idea." His companion also said, "Are you going to yell at those other people whose dogs are off-leash?" (facepalm).</p> <p>What if I had been frail or a child? This was a big dog that could have caused harm.</p> <p>End of rant.</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/Adept-Ebb8095"> /u/Adept-Ebb8095 </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Brooklyn/comments/1sqy6ox/prospect_park_unleashed_dog_jumped_on_me_with/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Brooklyn/comments/1sqy6ox/prospect_park_unleashed_dog_jumped_on_me_with/">[comments]</a></span>
