Oh we have a leash law and it is my opinion that the Boston's owner was negligent. In that situation it turned out ok for the Boston because of the type of dog Tesh is. However, if it had happened with Sequoia and she got ahold of the dog and injured it would people still feel the same way or would there be backlash against Sequoia for obeying her instinct and being who she is.

We don't even think about taking Sequoia to a dog park. That is totally out of the question. However, I do feel we can take her to dog events such as our local Dog Ice Cream Socials where all dogs are to be on leash and no nose to nose contact at all. I am amazed by how many dog owners don't pay attention to those rules.
