If I had a dollar for every "friendly" dog that jumped or lunged at me or my wife while running or cycling even when leashed where the owner was shocked (shocked!) at pooch's behavior, I'd have a decent sum. Nowhere near enough to live in Park City though. :-) So hard to tell from this he said/she said account who is in the wrong. Definitely a slow news day.

You're in favor of letting dogs roam the neighborhood without leashes?
It sounds like they’re walking the dogs on a basically public nature trail that runs through Prince’s property. In which case, in the abstract, I am fine with dogs being off leash. This is one of those stories where it’s impossible to take a side without accurate context. It could be that the dogs are actually menacing, it could be that Prince isn’t happy about an easement on his land and is using this as a pretext t…
I’ve been menaced so many times by unleashed dogs while jogging on public trails and seen enough smaller people get bitten that I don’t think dogs should ever be unleashed in public areas not specifically intended for them.
I used to have a dog and totally get how nice it would be not to worry about leashes, but human safety has to come first.

Same. Unleashed dogs have charged me while walking. They've blocked my path while hiking, barking and snarling. They've chased me while cycling, literally snapping at my heels.
I don't understand people who think dogs are harmless.
I do think aggressive, menacing behavior from dogs should be treated as seriously as similar human behavior would be.

I’ve been bitten twice by leashed dogs. On the sidewalk. The owners were flabbergasted. Seriously, just blows my mind how terrible so many owners are.
Edit: neither time did I engage or pay attention to either dog.
