My husband witnessed the guy INTENTIONALLY drop the leash and walk into the store. Unfortunately, my husband is less confrontational about these things than I am and he thought the guy may have had a reason for doing this?? (well trained dog?)
Not only would i have secured the dog, called Animal Control and reported him, I would have given him a tongue lashing if I had been there.
It is not slander if it is true. More to the story? He intentionally left his dog unsecured and shortly later someone ran into the store to tell him his dog was in the intersection?
I just hope the guy learned a lesson and will not put his dog in danger again. If a little shame on public media helps him know what he did was wrong, I don't feel bad about doing it.
