Yes, that's EXACTLY what afflicts some dog owners. They ascribe human traits to their dogs, and anoint those dogs with human rights and feelings, at the expense of real people.

BTW, at least you had good taste in dogs, and by that I do not mean dogs that taste good. We had a Brittany who was totally incredible. More personality than most people. Smarter than most people too. One hell of a dog. Looked kind of like yours in fact.

Unleashed wandering dogs in Joshua Tree usually end up as dinner for the coyotes. All dogs, not just the small ones, given that the coyotes run in packs, and are quite experienced at stalking dogs. Whether or not a dog owner cares about NPS regulations, a compelling reason to leash Fifi.

No sh*t!

I have witnessed, once aurally and twice visually, dogs being taken by coyotes. In one case the lead coyote pretended to be lame and lured the dog out of camp whereupon the pack nabbed it.

Nothing like hearing a deer get taken by a big cat right next to camp in the middle of the night up in the Kern Canyon though. You've never seen a sleeping dog jump up and fly into the back of the van as fast as Guyzo's Moe did when that action came down.

I'd put money on the proposition that the transgressions are inversely age related.

While pets are allowed in the park, their activities are restricted. They must be on a leash at all times and cannot be more than 100 feet from a road, picnic area, or campground; they are prohibited from trails, and they must never be left unattended—not even in a vehicle.

I can't leave Loki at home because... Well, there isn't anyone around to feed her and do the basics. Plus she doesn't eat when we go away. She starts losing her hair, etc. It's either I abandon her which I won't do or she comes along. I totally agree about following the rules and... When I was in JTree last. Loki was either leashed the whole time with me, or a few feet near me tied to the truck. When it was getting a bit too hot and we had nothing to do. We both laid down for a nap with her head in my lap. Now if anyone finds that offensive... I don't give a damn. She is not in your way. In fact she has better manners than most folks.

I understand about rude owners and bad dogs. Once when I was with Loki, an untied and unsupervised dog attacked us. Of coarse Loki took a nice bite out of that one. After an hour a man approached and started accusing us for allowing our dog to bite his. All I could tell him is she was tied up and with us, his was the one that approached our campsite, untied and not with him. Enough said...
