Animal shelters overwhelmed with more 'pandemic pets' being returned

Animal shelters are at full capacity

A Reddit poster is far from winning friends and influencing people.

Writing on the subreddit known as AITA ("Am I the a-----e"), a man with the username of "Other_Computer_7702" sought the opinion of others after a dramatic encounter at a park involving his infant son and a bunch of aggressive and unleashed pups owned by a stranger.

He prefaced his post by saying, "I hate dogs. Can't stand them. I think they are gross, I avoid them, I do anything I can to not have them in my life."

Having said that, he then described what happened "at the neighborhood park."

He said he and his wife were there with their six-month-old son.

"Best kid in the entire world," he wrote. 

A man described an experience at a park in which a stranger's puppies rushed at him, his wife and their infant son while they were relaxing on a picnic blanket. "I hate dogs. Can't stand them," the man wrote on Reddit.   (iStock)

The three of them were "having a picnic" and things were "going great," the man wrote.

He said their "baby [was] on a big blanket and having the time of his life rolling around, playing, giggling. It [was] a blast seeing him so happy."

But those moments of bliss then apparently turned ugly.

"Next thing I know there is a pair of puppies coming right at us. They are unleashed."
