I was walking with my dog on the leash, yes. (as required)
But it is someone else who let their two big dogs run free...
It was a young couple simply being careless. They did apologize though upon realizing their mistake. The situation was a little tense there for a moment, but ultimately – by keeping a cool head, both me and my dog – no harm was done.
Again, remember that most encounters may be somewhat intimidating at first but rarely dogs are aggressive. As long as they’re barking they don’t bite ;-)
And it helps to understand / have experience with dogs.
