Perhaps a knowledgeable member could clarify where this is comming from?

Are you for real

Is it fair to say that if a dog is on a lead it cant run upto another dog and cause a fight!? nor can it knock over an old lady or child!
Is it also fact that if a dog is on a lead it cannot run into the road and cause an accident!
It is also fact that if a dog is on a lead it is under reasonable 'control'!

Happy to clarify that for you.
