[PiePiper]

I take Piper for a walk at a state Beach every day. All dogs are suppose to be leashed and there are signs everywhere to remind people. Since it's summer dogs are not allowed on the beach yet you can walk the bike paths. Most of the time the paths are away from the beach but there is one section that you go through that is big open fields and pavillions that you can rent for special occasions. This section is also a picnic area. Yesterday I was walking through there and Piper is just watching the kids playing ball in the field and I sence something coming up fast behind me. I turn and an unleashed Boxer runs right up to Piper. She is about 5.5lbs and this boxer is scaring her. It's not acting aggressive and I know that Piper is never aggressive but all it takes is for Piper to growl and the other dog could attack. I scoop her up and hope this dog doesn't start jumping for her. I actually kicked the Boxer and said NO! and it ran away. Where is a park ranger when they're needed? On my walk back I did see the Boxer again running from the beach area but I went out of my way to stay clear of it.
