I have a hard time understanding why some dog owners walk their dogs without a leash. There is a lovely foot path not too far from my house, and I enjoy walking for exercise. It's wonderful to walk and look at the trees. However, many times when I take a walk, at least one dog owner is on the path with his dog walking ahead of him, and not on a leash. The leash is in the owner's hand, but not connected to the dog's collar! I have nothing against dogs, but if I don't know the animal, I would rather not have it run up to me, barking.
I usually ask the owner to call his dog. The owner often says, "Oh, the dog won't bite." I insist, and the owner usually calls the dog and puts on its leash.
My theory is: any creatures with teeth will bite, if they feel like it.
