“Across the street” doesn’t have to mean the dog was on the opposite curb perpendicular to the man. In general parlance it means the property or the hous across the way, or even a house down the street yet still across.
If he meant down the street then why didn't he say so.
Funny how he knew the precise address of the house and watched the owner open the door and let the dogs out and made the point about being "without leashes".
What should leashes have anything to do with it??? Who opens the door and lets the dogs out "with leashes"???
