Default Service Dog at Lake Miona Recreation Trail

My neighbor and I were walking our leashed dogs (carrying waste bags) at the Lake Miona trail and a dog jumped from a golf cart and ran across several parking spots to see our dogs. The Yorkie was friendly and not aggressive but clearly could have used a leash. The man got out of his golf cart and showed us a card that said his dog was a service dog. We voiced our concern that his dog wasn't leashed and wasn't wearing a vest. This little guy could have been easily killed if someone was trying to park and didn't notice the little Yorkie. The owner didn't say a word and picked up the dog and went inside the pool area and sat down. Perhaps the owner is deaf or has some medical condition and needs the animal, I don't know. We were just concerned about the safety of the dog. This happened about two weeks ago.
