We have a 6' max lead law for dogs on our MUP. 99% of the people are super good about it and I am very careful around animals and kids. Both are very unpredictable.

I have had one run in with a dog, a lady was walking her dog on a 20' leash and I ran over the leash. I thought the dog wasn't even on a leash. I ran over the cord and the dog for some reason took offence to this and ran out after me. The little fluffy thing then went under my rear wheel! I went down, dog was hurt badly I believe. The lady was super pissed at me but after the police showed up and saw the super long leash and I told them the incident and the lady pretty much had the same rendition of what I stated she was issued a citation. She still thought the bikes on the path were at fault and the MUP should only be for walkers.

I still think to this day the dog did not survive. It was pretty hurt. I don't know and I don't think I really want to know because of a careless owner I hurt that poor dog.
