...and the common denominator is that NONE of the dogs were on a short (6 foot) leash.

You are careful with Beau and your statement that a far greater danger to dogs are carts, cars, and trucks speaks volumes. If all dog owners were as responsible as you, there would be no issues with coyotes, hawks, snakes, or alligators.
