Puppy Pushes Toddler: Am I the A-hole?

So, here’s the tea: I tried to warn the dad that my pup needed a second to calm down before the kids could pet him, but he wasn’t having it. Cue the puppy pounce, and one startled toddler later, I’m being called out for having a “feral, untrained mutt”! I feel awful about the little one getting knocked over, but I did try to prevent it. The internet’s verdict? Let’s just say opinions are divided! Some think I should’ve had a tighter leash on the situation (literally!), while others are giving the dad a major side-eye for not listening to my warnings. One thing’s for sure: this puppy playdate turned into a full-blown dog drama! So, what do you think? Was I the a-hole, or was this just an unfortunate case of miscommunication gone wrong? Weigh in below, and let’s get to the bottom of this canine conundrum!
