need some input guys

Im at dog park with my puppy 4 months old and this older dog attacks it and bites it in the neck 4 times, my puppy is afraid of all the other dogs, so he started nothing,  hes just getting used to being there. I reacted out of instinct and threw a kick to the dogs chest squarely with my in step, nothing brutal, just a wake up call, I know how hard and how to control my kicks, trust me.

So the lady in her 40s starts cussing at me and calling me names, I almost reacted and then I caught myself once I seen my dog was okay and I apologized 4 times with no success from her, She didnt apologize to me for her dog attacking mine, I apologized more than once and in more than one way, stating that it was my fault and it was a protective reaction that I had and that I was out of line, The dog park official was ther and saw and heard it all, especially my apologizing to her.

She left the park pissed off with her dog and never said a word after that to me.

Now I feel terrible, as always, I always find myself in these situations with other people creating a situation that I find myself reacting to and then I always seem to be the bad guy here. My dog is not a vicious breed, hes only a puppy he started nothing, but when I see another big older dog on top of him with my puppys neck in his mouth, I reacted. I was in the wrong to react the way I did I guess?

Now I feel like I dont want to go to the dog park, that one anyway and I also am having an angry day now.

What should I do?

Thanks Men
