Unfortunatly it's just a matter of time before we all have to start packing protection just to walk our dogs. People act like this world belongs to them and only them.Being a firefighter I went to an incident recently when a lady was walking her dog on a leash on one of our local trails. She encountered a large dog and to keep her dog from being attacted she let her dog run free....She in turn got attacted. The large dog owner blamed her for the attack. People are quick to blame others for there mistakes.Which is why this world is becoming more and more violent. I myself would just prefer to get in my X5 with my Mini Schnauzer and get away from these folks.
