The puppy’s owner should be penalized for allowing his canines to run loose in the non-dog park. OP was frightened when the puppies ran towards his six-year-old son, potentially injuring him. He was allowed to criticize the owner, but cussing in front of a youngster was not acceptable. The OP should speak with park security about not allowing these puppies to enter the park again, just as people let their children play freely.
