75% of all dogs off the leash...

The beach and water is gorgeous ~ my dog and I went twice within a year (we now live in Panama City) - overcrowded at any given time, too small for the volume of dogs running around and the worst part: 75% of all dogs were off the leash running around wild! Totally irresponsible owners that spoiled it for us - my dog got attacked 8 (eight) times in her life by small and some medium-sized dogs off the leash, so she was terrified during our most recent beach visit every time a yipping barking Yorkshire Terrier or other "cute" little dog tried to run into her face. Dumbed down, irresponsible dog owners these days. I wished local officers would check on all those idiots because accidents are bound to happen! The 8 times my dog got attacked (2 times we were hospitalized), after each incident the owners responded to me "oh, my dog has never bitten another dog before, normally he is very friendly!" How about prevention, respecting the law, and common sense, people? We will stick to our little secluded bay that I now found, without humans or dogs off the leash in the future!
