I was at Chatham inlet early one season around 84 or 85 and there were a lot of small pollack in the surf. On the dropper I hooked a small pollack and it was flapping around on the sand. Someones dog comes racing over barking at the fish and gets one treble hook of my plug in his leg. He then instinctively bites the plug and gets the other treble in his mouth. So the dog's mouth and leg are now attached to my plug and the dog is letting out these blood curdling howls for everyone on the beach to hear. No way I was going to hold down a strange dog and try to unhook him and put myself into new danger. I stood there and waited for the owner to come down and get his dog unhooked, which he eventually did, but it was not a good scene.

That's exactly the stuff I would be afraid of. He's well behaved, but with a flopping fish on the beach I could see all bets being off.
