Wednesday, June 1st, I started towards Skylight at the Trail Head in Keene Valley. I heard some bells tingling as I unloaded the truck. Four (4) wolf like dogs came out of the wood with some nice little bells on. They found me interesting with a little growl; but thankfully the owner was right there and called them back (better than calling them off!)... no leashes. They got into a Suburban that had a nice contraption in the front passenger seat for a lap top (I couldn't help looking at it, it was right next to me! ...I'm not out there looking in cars!)
I normally find it distasteful to 'police', but I'd have been pissed off if one of my kids were with me and ran ahead to sign in at the trailhead and met one (or four) of these meat eaters. In fact; I probably should have gotten the plate.
On another note; I thought these dogs were pretty cool. They were very wolf like ~ anyone else see them?
Furthermore, last week I encountered a growling pit bull(?) with three young men while I was climbing Giant with my 7 year old. Personally, I don't mind the no leash thing...But the dog ended up running away (from three other unleashed dogs) and was lost. I kept a sharp eye out for her and passed the other three dogs on the way up; but to no avail. The owner said to 'grab her, she doesn't bite'!
I love that phrase, its the most popular evidence when the medical damages lawsuit end up in court!
