I know, I never get mad at the dog because it's only doing whatever its brain tells it to, whether that's to attack or go and say hello. It's the owners that are at fault because they should keep their dogs on a lead! They'll still be well exercised. It's just the sheer ignorance of people sometimes. They think just because their dog is friendly, that every other dog in the world will be.
I'd be reluctant to let any dog of mine off the lead where there are other dogs unless I completely trusted them to recall (which mine probably won't).
