I have no problem with dogs in public if people have them under well control. The problem is, most don’t. Even at the vet. Our previous dog did NOT like many other dogs. She had been attacked when young by a neighbor dog (neighbors shoved the dog out the door at night to use the neighbor’s yards as a toilet). After that, she was aggressive with strange dogs. I have warned people to keep their dog away from my leashed one and they tell me “it’s ok, my dog’s friendly”. Well MINE wasn’t and they were shocked when my dog clamped down on their dog’s snout when it got all up in her face. I would repeat through clenched teeth, “GET. YOUR. DOG. UNDER. CONTROL.” And, of course, once we got into the exam room, we hear the same dog get into a ruckus with someone else. Some people shouldn’t have dogs...
