This makes me so sad and furious. I'm glad you and your dogs are going to be okay.
Yeah, I feel like we dodged a bullet--can't imagine if it had only been me or DH walking the dogs that morning. Without the other to help, it might have all ended worse.So sorry this happened but glad your pup will be fine.
My only worry now is any possible trauma.
Totally agree with you! I think all dogs should be leashed when walked, period. It's for everyone's safety.Glad everyone is ok, so scary and I can't even imagine.
Also, leash your dog when you walk them. Over the summer when I was walking Tux, and this is in an inbuilt development behind our house so sidewalks and street but no houses for most of it. There are houses after the development though. We rarely encounter other people let alone dogs on our quick walk but one day a guy was out with his dog not on a leash. I was watching Tux and not them and next thing I knew the dog was next to us and Tux wanted up. I pick him up and the guy yells to me his dog is friendly, which he seemed to be but I have a mini doxie who isn't fully comfortable with tall dogs. He can't reach to sniff them so he's got no idea it's another dog sniffing him and he just wants up.
I don't care how you think your dog is, you don't know how my dog will react. Thankfully Tux isn't reactive but that could have been bad. I shouldn't have expected his dog to stay with him but if you are going to walk them without a leash I expect them to be trained well enough to not leave your side.
And I realize all of this is most likely known and done by the people here but it bugs me.
