[quote=Anonymous]I've had dogs chase me on my runs and walks, and my daughter got bitten once. So I get pretty nervous when I (frequently) see off-leash dogs - it would suck to get bitten when I'm on a trail inaccessible to cars, and then have to somehow cover 3-5 miles back to my car on foot with a dog bite. Wouldn't be much fun on a normal street either. Most of the time, the dogs are bigger, mellow dogs who pay me no notice at all - I can usually sense when a dog is tame/good with strangers from far away. But a few times, I've been scared. (and another danger - people who walk leashed dogs they really can't control - an older woman used to walk her very aggressive dog near VA Square and the dog came after me and she could barely control it. it was terrifying for me.) Dog owners - please recognize that other people don't know your dog, don't know if he's friendly or aggressive, and having your dogs off-leash can make us nervous.[/quote]
