Nature & Landscapes

Saw a guy in a wilderness area over the weekend with his dog running around.

I reminded him (kindly) that dogs must be leashed in the wilderness.

He responded, “I don’t bring my dogs to places like this just to have them on a leash”.

To which I replied, “well you’re bringing him to the wrong places then, there are plenty of beautiful trails where you can take the leash off outside of the wilderness area”.

He huffed off grumbling that his dog is more well-behaved than most humans, yadda yadda.

Worth noting that I do like dogs and appreciate all the wilderness goers who do leash them and sometimes go as far as to tell them that.

I’m just a bit tired of the entitlement, lack of responsibility, and the rampant sentiment that the rules are always only made for someone else that seems pervasive in some slice of the dog-owning population .

Anyways, how do you all deal with situations like these?

Have I become a total Karen?
