This looks like a fenced dog park. In which case, every dog owner goes in at their own risk. When I used dog parks, I always chose times of day when no one else was there. If someone else showed up, I left. I wasn't there to let my dog play with other dogs (and exchange parasites or diseases), but to give them a chance to run free.

If out in the general public, I never hesitated to defend my dogs (who I kept on leash) from other dogs that weren't. Or to shame their owners if they were around. But that rarely needed to happen, since I had German Shepherds.

Guy in the cap missed several opportunities to kick the crap out of the offender. I carry when I am walking and I usually, but not always, also have pepper spray. Would not hesitate. Had an owner of a yapper tell me, "But she's just a little thing." Yeah. All that means is the stitches will be lower on my leg. I love dogs, but have no desire to be the victim of some owner's lack of responsibility. It's a shame the dog has to be the one paying the price.
