In this week’s Spill the Tea, sponsored by The Spice & Tea Exchange, Leah Rizzo and Charlie Sokaitis tackle a tense dog park dilemma. The story follows a dog owner who brings their medium-sized, well-socialized but anxious dog to the dog park during a quiet time—only for a much larger dog to aggressively mount and intimidate their pet. After the situation escalates, the larger dog’s owner blames the anxious dog and suggests they never should’ve been there in the first place. Leah and Charlie break down the incident, discussing dog behavior, responsible pet ownership, and whether the anxious dog’s owner was wrong for going to the park—or if the blame lies elsewhere. A heated debate for any pet lover who’s ever experienced dog park drama.
