Yeah dogs on the trail piss me off too. Ever since I got bit by some ''Sweet little old lady's harmless little dog'' that has "never acted like that before" ...I now see a new use for my bash ring! Around here, people seem to think the leash law doesn't apply to the trail. It's usually stinkin hikers trying to get their mutt some exercise b/c they bought a big dog & put it in a small yard. I have Zero compassion for an "unleashed" animal on the trail.

But I do like dogs. It's not the dogs fault that the owner is a moron.
