I am glad that all turned out ok for the owner and her dog mentioned in the blog. But her story is exactly why dogs should always be on a leash. I do competitive obedience and consider my older dogs well trained and reliable but unless we are working on an exercise where I have their complete and undivided attention....they are ON a leash. In leisure activities they can become distracted and then their safety is depended on me. Dogs off lead in public are a major pet peeve of mine.
