Just last week I had the same experience and was coaxed by other dog owners to let Ginger free! One owner said to me, "You will never know if she is really your dog until you walk with her off lead." He was right, the thrill was awesome. Ginger ran and played with the other large dogs but always looked back to see where I was. I would call her and she would fly back to me for praise! Truly, it was one of the best moments I have had! Of course, where we were was safe for Ginger or I would not have tried this. Try it, you won't be sorry!
