That clears that up. Thanks.

he obviously loved his dog and made a mistake. I've made mistakes that taught me lessons, too.

It wasn't that initial mistake that bothered me so much as his statement that he would keep a closer eye on the dog going forward. I would have felt better if he said he's never letting his dog outside off leash again.
