TIL that complimenting a stranger's dog almost got me in a fistfight
I was at a coffee shop downtown and this lady had this huge bulldog that was just sitting there drooling on the floor. I said 'wow, that's a real handsome beast you got there' and she snapped back that her dog was a 'she' and I was being rude. Stopped myself from saying 'well maybe if you didn't dress her in a pink bonnet I would have known' and just walked away. Has anyone else had a simple dog compliment go totally sideways like that?

At least when my dog gets misgendered I can't tell if he's offended or just wants more bacon.

Wait, she put a PINK BONNET on a bulldog and then got mad at YOU for not knowing? That's actually hilarious! @patricia317 you're totally right about bulldog owners being touchy, maybe it comes with the breed or something.
