I just always find this hysteria about the idea of a dog ever being off-leash so interesting. And I do mean hysteria. I don't know when that happened, or if it is just "city people"... but the concept that dogs do not have to be physically restrained at all times is a very upsetting one for a lot of people these days. I suspect the worst of the hysteria comes from people who have poorly trained dogs, but I haven't done a scientific study on that.
Now, where I live I do not see this. I can walk through my neighborhood with a pair of dogs off-leash and have no trouble. My neighbors have their dogs out in front yards off-leash, as well. Nobody remarks it as long as they behave. But to get online and have people realize a dog in some other part of the country was off-leash somewhere... that's guaranteed drama!
I think at some point, you just have to say "whatEVER" and go on with your life.

If you had your dog off leash with the approval of the rangers and in an area recommended by the rangers, there is no complaints anyone can make regardless of their position on dogs.
Some people are not happy unless they have something to complain about and try to make others as miserable as they are.

When we're camping for longer than a weekend, we like to let the pups get some rigorous excercise. In one campground we frequent, we let them run in a field on the outskirts of the campground. Even the campground host comes with us and throws a ball for them. Agnes
