[quote=Anonymous]I'm going to offer another perspective. I love dogs. I so enjoy watching them frolicking with each other off-leash. But I am conflicted. I have consecutively had 4 giant-breed (150+ lb) rescue dogs who were very protective of me. I spent a lot of time training them and always walked them on a short leash. When other people approached, I would cross the street or get out of their way. On many occasions, an off-leash dog would come running up to us. I had my dog under complete control, but if you let a dog come running up to my dog, I cannot predict how my dog will react. I can't even count the number of times that the owner of the off-leash dog would say, "don't worry, Buffy is really friendly." Well, my giant dog is not so friendly and could eat your friendly dog in one bite. I know Buffy is just trying to play. But my giant dog does not know that. Please do not let your off-leash dog run up to on-leash dogs.[/quote]
