They could probably tell that you were concerned by the way you picked up your dog to protect her.

That is like taking the side of the person doing the WRONG thing.......allowing loose dogs. Rules NOT followed are a slippery slope toward a lower standard of life in The Villages. The people controlling their dogs should not have to change their behavior for the people NOT controlling their dogs. I remember seeing a lady whose dog was literally walking her. The dog was on a long (20ft ) leash and wrapped it around a tree. The lady had zero control of the 30lb animal. A few feet later I watched the dog BITE a man for absolutely NO reason.
Off-leash dogs can definitely be dangerous. Their owners should be fined heavily!
