REFLECTIONS ON ROTTWEILER MAN

A couple of years ago, an incident arose in which I attempted to calm down the male owner of a Rottweiler, leading said man to accuse me of assaulting him and threaten to call in the police.
In fact, this individual - not his dog incidentally - was the aggressive party, and, needless to say, the police were not called in.
Since then, I have tried to steer clear of "Rottweiler Man" but this morning couldn't avoid a pavement encounter.
Once again, the dog behaved impeccably, but his owner - whose right arm was, I noticed, heavily bandaged from the elbow - growled "Nutter" in an aggressive manner as he passed me.
"Good job your dog had more sense than you !" I responded. The dog looked at me knowingly.
