Damn Jimmy. I've seen similar situations like yours happen. All the time, people are walking their dogs without a leash - the problem arises when the dogs are not trained.

My mum has 4 dogs. I know that 2 of them can be taken anywhere without a leash because they are extremely well trained. "Hey!" is all it takes and they stop in their tracks. It's a completely different story on the other two (they were adopted as adult dogs). It's tough enough keeping those two under control with a leash.

On the beaches in the off season is one thing, but in a populated area with little kids, letting a dog run wild is irresponsible.

I'm sorry your kids had such a bad experience. Experiences like that at a young age can stick for a long time.

Recent editorial in the BI Times re keeping dogs leashed suggested that we think of all beaches as "wildlife first" areas. They'll be banning us and the dogs from the beach soon.

Really? I wouldn't bet against them.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
