I believe the woman was also at fault for not having her dog on a lead too.
I agree in public places,i live in the country and i let my dogs go but they are either in my fenced in yard or in the field out back my place,My RB Bandit was aggressive and i was so careful with him i always had him muzzled in all circumstances.I was so scared of him nipping someone now im not saying the dog should be destroyed but knowing the dogis aggressive the owner should be that much careful,when i had company i always took Bandit out to his pen so he was always away from people Bandit was good with family that is it he lunged at my neighbor once,that is when i was like OMG what is wrong come to find out the neighbor hit him on the head and scuffed the top of his head,
So he had every right to feel the way he did but,that did not give me the right to say well let him bite him....I had to be the responsible one and say ok he is not to be around anybody,And i would still have him if he was not Killed on the road,
All animals should have a chance aggressive or not but the owner should know what they are doing,and not take any chances or they will be the ones that winde up in trouble...
