That is total B.S.
I have been bitten by a dog that was supposedly only coming over from across the street to be friendly. After the fact i demanded that the owner be cited for having an aggressive dog and violating the leash and restraint laws of the town that I lived in at the time and the owner also got to pay my medical bills.
If your dog comes running across the street or out of your property towards me, you can expect at the very least it will get a nose full of pepper spray, and I am not talking about the wimpy crap that they sell at wally world.
And if you wish to pursue after me, I can guarantee I will see you as a threat.
Keep you dogs leashed or fenced in on your property or pay the consequences. Your dog is your responsibility, it is not my responsibility to be able to read a dogs mind and be able to know its intentions.

And yes I am a DOG owner. Or at least I was until our Lab had to be put down due to age.
