Nice people (not) or is it just covid-19 pressure???

Posted before re walking my dog in these difficult times but I am not surprised Jumilla didn't win 'best town in Spain'. I appreciate that it appears that I am the only Brit Expat in the San Juan area, 2 metres tall and blonde hair (easy target!!) but yet again when out "legally" walking my small dog tonight  (poo bags on board and cleaning fluid in a bottle) and avoiding the dog shit on the pavements, my poor dog was attacked when turning a corner...OK, a surprise for both dogs (on leads) and their owners but I made light of it in Spanish only to be looked as if I was something the other owner 'had stood in'...an attitude I've come to expect here but definitely not from the expats from other countries!!! Nearer from home, a middle aged couple, out walking together 'illegally as the present legislation states' on the other side of the Ctra de Yecla shouted across aggressively " Oye, tu perro......" I just stopped and stood there eying them up as my Spanish doesn't run to having a satisfactory abusive 'conversation'...my Spanish wife doesn't walk the dog at the moment 

as "it's too cold!" but hopefully we can get through this 'puta virus' and I can release my 'Rottweiler' on them!!!!
