Having a dog off leash should just be treated as aggravated assault. I know it sounds rash but think about it for a minute. It's never excusable, it's a direct risk to others, and the PPD will never enforce it. What's there to lose?

Edit: brandishing in PA is aggravates adult. Same thing. A dog can be deadly.

Edit2. Dog in article was not off leash. I assumed.

Fuck. I assumed and am guilty. I see this too often being involved in pet care and owning pets myself. Opinion still stands but thanks for correcting.

I mean the dog was out of the owner hands is was practically off leash. Sorry if you can’t control two dogs while walking then don’t do that.

If a dog is leashed but the owner can’t control the leashed dog, is the dog effectively leashed? I would argue no.
