I was hiking solo with my Austrailian sheepdog in the Selway Wilderness and ran upon another solo and his chocolate lab. He was moving out of a water access spot, so I moved in. In the process his 120 pound dog started humping my 40 pound dog, both male. The other hiker spoke to his dog but nothing changed until I picked up my dog to move on.
A couple hours later, we passed the same dude camped 100 feet off the trail. His dog again came to the trail we stood on and started humping my dog again, who began whimpering and climbing up me to get away. A few words from the other hiker accomplished nothing, so I kicked the chocolate in the butt, which brought the event to a halt. The other hiker became irate. Was I right to not allow my dog to get butt-raped on the trail? Was shoving the bigger dog off inappropriate? Or was the other hiker in the wrong?
