I'm not talking about a dog park or in the "woods" in the middle of
nowhere. Unleashed dogs are not a good thing in a neighborhood. Dogs
should always be under the owners control, on a leash. These were, and
they didn't like each other. Uncontrolled, it could have been a bad
situation involving trips to the vet.
