If you let your dog go over and sniff people you have to expect it to be hit or kicked. Once or twice when my dogs have been off the leash they've wanted to "play" with kids that have suddenly turned up after i've started walking on an empty beach and i've had to make a mad dash after them to keep them away from the kids in case dad takes a boot to the puppy (puppies can be quite large) thats jumping on his little princess. It would be totally my fault and his right to disable the dog in any way he saw fit and i wouldn't complain. It would suck but it's not his fault - it would have been mine.
Personally In most cases I would definately keep someone's dog away from me with my foot or a cane if i had one, I've been bitten before and I can't vouch for how some other retard treats and trains his dog and at the very least i don't want their shit eating mutt to put dirt all over my pants.. NO ONE should have to put up with being accosted by an animal in a public space even if it just wants to sniff and lick.. What would YOU do if a MAN came over to you and sniffed and licked you? Same shit.. violation of personal space and right to be left the fuck alone animal or no.
Just because someone doesn't mind letting their dogs kiss them on the lips and eat off dinner plates doesn't mean everyone wants to cuddle your ball-licking fur sack.
Basically it's your fault for not controlling the dog. Some people have real issues with animals and it's your responsibility to your pet to make sure they are not exposed to them and potential harm and responsibility that the public isn't exposed to your pet and potential harm.
