When my dog Leela was a puppy and I was still new at dog owenership, we encountered a neighbor puppy pug about her age off leash. Not knowing what Leela would do and being inexperience, I grabbed her collar, and the pug circled us. Well Leela tried to follow the pug and wrapped my hand in the collar. I ended up on my knee, fearing my hand would break when the collar opened releasing my hand. Now my puppy Leela was off leash, but instead of running off she sat in front of me and placed her paw on my lap as if asking if I was ok. I was fighting tears and my hand was bleeding. The pugs owner arrived and instead of asking if I was ok or needed anything, she proceeded to tell me how I should be taking care of my dog and walking my dog (use a chain instead of attaching the leash to the collar- which I do now but that was not the time). It was her dog that was off leash and causing a problem. I was not happy, and I think she caught on becuase she gathered up her pug, and for a few days after she would go in her house when she saw me coming with Leela.
