People should take their dogs to dog parks and not to a place where they can be harmed.<\/h2>\n

It is for the dogs\u2019 safety. If you are intentionally taking your dog to busy streets or playgrounds, then it is your fault if your dog gets hurt.  A 17-year-old girl who plays soccer has shared her story on Reddit. She was out on a soccer field with her friends to play soccer. There was no one in the field but after some time, a lady comes to the field with her old dog. OP overshot the ball and the ball hit the dog\u2019s back legs. OP went to the lady and apologized. OP told her if she wants her to call the emergency or vet but the lady refused. The lady asked for OP\u2019s phone number so she could contact her about the vet\u2019s bills. OP refused and came back. Scroll down to read what happened next.<\/p>\n
