There's your problem.
In our Provincial Park any dog that's off leash will get a good ear full from me, errrr sorry not the dog, the stupid, ignorant owner will.
Story from many years ago: a neighbour was taking pictures for the ""Friends of ..... Park" newsletter. He commented on the fact that our Siberian Huskies were always leashed. I told him that looking for the two all over the Park would be no fun.
