Those dogs were just fine. I took their picture because I thought the one walking with the stick was very cute.
Another couple on bikes had a dog that is going to be a real problem for someone. She grabbed him, but he shouldn’t be up there. He was very big, very aggressive, I wasn’t sure she was going to be able to hold him. We had been warned about him by another couple of bikers that they were coming. I in turn warned another family down at the trailhead who had a couple kids on ponies.
People should really know what their dogs are capable of handling and when they’re likely to be more trouble than it’s worth to have ‘em along. :-\
