Walking a pit off leash is terrifying. What if a runner had turned a corner and "startled" the dog?

Also feels like ignorance is a defense here and shouldn't be. Just because she thought her shock collar would disable the dog and was super wrong about that doesn't mean that she isn't criminally negligent.

If a dog can be startled by a grandma, they are not safe to be outside. They need to be muzzled and leashed.
