As a dog owner, here are 5 situations that freak me out

[Arugula Latte]

32. In several instances I've been with friends who have dogs, and

I've been embarrassed by their somewhat clueless behavior and failure to keep their dogs under control. For example, I was walking in a public forest on trails with one friend who kept her untrained dog on a very long leash, the dog would zigzag all over the place and constantly create barriers for people trying to get by in the opposite direction. I wish I could have held up a sign saying: "Not my dog." Another friend let her dogs run wild on the beach and they would charge over to small kids and practically knock them over. These friends seem to think that because they don't mind their own dogs slobbering all over them nobody else does, either.
