In the uptight suburbs of DCUM I wouldn’t do it. So many things can go wrong. We had a neighbor who wanted to open our gate so her dog would “play “ with ours. Whenever she felt like it. Just seemed like too risky.

Viral particles can cling to pets, as well as the leash, so that would not be a good idea.

Maybe an adult but my dog is very, very dog-reactive and it is not pleasant to walk him. I would not let a kid do it as they would not be able to handle my beast. Plus, I worry about a kid being able to handle a situation where unleashed dogs run up or possibly attack.

My adult neighbor? Sure, with one of my goldens, not both. Both is an undertaking, particularly if you meet another dog along the way.
