Dogs at Lake Francis?!?

[Andy Burton <>]

the larger male LBI raised his crest and responded with a rude and dismissive "shut up" and

"piss off". Not happy Jan!!

I find that this attitude is typical of many dog owners, in fact I have have received far worse responses than the 'mild' response that you received. I have also been concerned, on rare occasions, for my safety. On one occasion last year I even called off a search for a Noisy Pitta in Sydney because of one such concern; and that's pretty serious!!
