Portland, I understand that many of you consider your dogs your children. And I understand that in your eyes, your dogs can do no wrong. But please, your dog isn't special, and would "never hurt a fly." If you go outside with your dog, please keep them on a leash. You saying "wow, Loki never reacts like this!" doesn't mean much if I have to take my dog to the vet.

If I'm walking a dog, I don't know if your dog is going to run up and attack my dog. I can't predict where your dog will run if I'm walking or driving down the street. For the love of God, be a responsible owner and only let your pups off leash in secure, designated areas. That's literally why we have dog parks.
