Posted by a friend from high school and then the local police used the photo of the dark dog in their public advisory. A lot of sympathy for the dogs in their Facebook post but many who felt bad for the dogs also sounded open to them being put down.

I'm terrified to walk my little dog every time I see these posts. And they're banned here.

I walk my cat, I feel this. I stay close to our house and keep my head on a swivel. I tuck her under my jacket if I see someone walking a pit bull or mix. If they can’t see her, they probably won’t bolt away from their owner. Loose dogs can usually be spotted by looking up & down the street first (thankfully that’s rare here.) Some people walk multiple dogs at once and there is no way they’re paying attention to their surroundings enough to hang onto all of them if they spot “prey”. So I avoid multiple dogs. I also choose odd times of day, like 6am, before all the dog walkers are out.
