The fact that more and more people are adopting more and more dogs is a very good thing. The fact that some of those people think their dogs need to run free and un-tethered, even in public parks, can be a very bad thing. Because when dogs collide—especially when one is on a leash and the other is not—bad things can happen.
I know, because it recently happened to me and one of my dogs.
That's Part 1 of the story. As you will see in Part II, this is not an isolated incident and is noted by the insurance industry. It's more of a troubling national trend, with dog attacks on other dogs—and people—happening more and more often. As you'll see in Part III it can take a lot of effort to resolve events like these, involving not only dogs and their owners, but often the police as well.
