What was said

"And so we ride onto the park, and this German Shepherd dude, by the way, starts chasing my son on the thing. And we don't know, like, with his mouth open at this point, I'm like, we don't know if the dog's like, what he's doing, you know? It's straight-up chasing. Yeah, for sure. And my son's 9, so he's scared. This freaking huge-ass black— you know the ones with a black face? They look extra scary."

Echo Charles recounts riding bikes into a large park when a German Shepherd began chasing his 9-year-old son with its mouth open. He says they couldn’t tell what the dog was doing, that it kept chasing rather than stopping quickly, and that his son became increasingly scared as they tried to head toward the owner so the owner could grab the dog.
