I hear you on the unleashed dogs. It is SO dangerous. My dog was (blindly) attacked TWICE last summer by unleashed dogs. We have a leash law and most people do follow it but nothing angers me more than unleashed dogs. It is dangerous to people and other animals.

Have you ever seen those little gadgets that you can carry when you walk a dog? Apparently they give off a sound only dogs can hear and they run away. I have always wondered if they work.
