It's funny to me that some of the most judgmental people are also some of the ones who seem to believe dogs are all just basic automatons. They have personalities, many of them try to get loose simply because they enjoy it and not as some sort of pathology, and not all of them can be reliably trained not to do that.
(I wonder if some of this attitude comes from people who own guarding breeds which tend not to want to run away. My sister's pitbull wouldn't voluntarily leave her side, leash or no leash. My terrier mix would forget everything else if he saw a small animal.)
ironic to say that i view them as automatons, when you're the one defending people mistreating their dogs.
