In that case doesn't make any difference if my dog is under control or on a lead then does it. I have some sympathy for her and its a shame that is the case. It is frequently the case with Asian people who are terrified of dogs under any circumstances. Damned if should be forced to have my dog on a lead tho, its not my fault or my dogs fault, specially when I have made more effort than most to ensure my dog is to heel off the lead.
