If you work at an animal hospital then I think you know that having a pet is the OWNERS responsibility.
They should keep their dog in their own yard. Cyclist have to obey the same rules as cars which means we have the right to travel any roads we wish unless otherwise posted. We have the right to ride without being attacked by their 'innocent' Fido. What if it was a small child that rode by their house?
I say report any dogs, if not for yourself, then for the next rider who may be passing by
