  Hi all.  and thanks for the replies..yes I do think picking up Dustie is best for now...but why do so many people see an open space and immediately let their dogs off a leash to run off...They can't be in control of their pets at a distance and most dogs are friendly I expect..but just get too excited for a little pup...Even another yorkie came bounding over on the beach..I thought o.k. a Yorkie..he will be o.k. with mine..but he really became too much and started snapping...so again I picked him up...The owner saw his dog but never called him back...It happens too often here in the U.K.  We have numerous incidents with dogs and children...
 It is a shame that a few spoil the pleasure of walking our pets and make me ever fearful..even in our local parks.
