I love dogs as much as anyone, but if you’re going to save a dog, make damn sure you aren’t going to get killed in the process. It’s not a fair trade.

Yea, my entire bloodline is dog obsessed, but I think even the most obsessed among us (all of us would claim that prize) would not put themselves at that kind of risk.
I hope.
Another possibility is that if he indeed unleashed the dog, he may have felt responsible and that probably clouded his thinking just enough.
