[RC] Dogs - Ridecamp Guest

==========================================

I am a dog lover and I have to agree with Stacy's post.
My dog will stay 10 feet away from me leash or not but
I don't take him for walks unless he's on the leash.  I
never presume a person wants to me him any more than I 
presume I might want to meet that human.  I certainly
wouldn't let him run around camp, he's terrified the 
horses are going to hurt me and feels compelled to put
himself between me and them. 

I tend to look at it this
way - my horse is friendly to people but I'd never let
her wander around as she has a tendency to be a bit
aggressive towards other horses.  

I don't walk up to strange horses without the owner's
permission and I certainly don't walk up to strange dogs
nor do I want either walking up to me without an invite.
It's only common courtesy.

Diane Roby and Codee
