We had a great time. There were about 9 of us on this hike...all with very well behaved dogs. Did we see some dogs that could use some training out on the hike. YES! We even met an aggressive chihuahua. I made a VERY loud comment about how that particular dog needed to go to training. Unfortunately, because the dog was only 4 pounds, the owner thought that it didn't need it and that it was controllable. The thing is, if that little dog antagonizes a larger dog and gets bit in the butt...who would be to blame?
I am always astounded by the human ability to deny reality and create a fantasy world to live in.
Later in the afternoon, on of my friends told me about a great documentary: Beyond the Myth. It's about breed specific legislation. And, if you have Netflix, you can stream it! It's educational.
