When we got off the elevator, there was an elderly lady struggling to get her walker through the door. So, I went over and pushed the accessibility button for her. Froggy was on my left side, and the lady to my right. When she saw Froggy she reached over and hit Froggy in the head with her purse. Of course, Froggy isn't going to move an inch after that, and immediately her head went down out of fear. Not wanting to upset Froggy further with yelling, trust me I wanted to freak, I laid it into the woman. It was totally uncalled for and Froggy was no where near her. The lady yelled at me to get my dog away from her, but by this point she was about 10+ feet away. I told her she'd have to do the moving since she froze Froggy into place out of fear. Big dogs are scary, I know, but if you saw Froggy it would be hard to fear her. She is so timid and docile.

That is awful.... Hope froggy is doing ok. Even my friends who don't like or are afraid of dogs would just avoid interaction. Hitting a dog you don't know is risky, to say the least.

Wow. If it was me I probably would have grabbed her purse and hit her over the head with it and asked if she liked it. LOL What an awful person. Hopefully you won't see her often.

yep I'd have wanted to grab her purse and hit her too, really hard, silly ignorant cow. Ridiculous when you think that Froggy was nowhere near her.
Frankly I think that some people are mean and nasty and that doesn't go away just cos they grow old, any excuse to be mean is my diagnosis, probably wasn't even scared of Froggy just wanted to vent some poison.

Froggy, you should have given her one of those "greyhound stares" at that nasty lady for hitting you on your head with her purse. Anyways, we hope that you are feeling better as you have lots of love coming your way from your new Forever Home Family and all your pals from GRA and the Forum. Keep us all posted.

I think you should call the cops. You know this wasn't the first time she hit a dog. Your dog was on leash and well under control. People need to know it's completely unacceptable, even once.
Then threaten to sue her for the trauma she caused ;D

Oil her walker wheels when she's not looking.
Oops, did I say that out loud?
In all seriousness, I know a lot of people who are petrified of dogs (believe it or not, my son used to be when he was younger. Go figure, eh?). A lot of fear and a little dementia causing her to over react a possibility?
