So the dog bit you, and you admitted assaulting the owner. Something just doesn’t add up. Since your wound is healing up nicely, and the dogs don’t have rabies (10 day quarantine?) then Im not too worried about his dogs. I’ve had way more bad interactions with people than dogs on the trail. Most people are nice, though.
I have to call BS on this one. The guy got bit. The owner tried to leave… multiple times. Its not about dogs vs. people, its about this particular situation and circumstance.
I’d be worried about this guy’s dogs… because if one of them bites one guy, what happens when one lunges at a child walking with their parent? Or another, smaller dog? Or grabs the leg of a runner and decided not to let go immediately?
As a partial aside, huskies are not a breed that makes a good pet. They are working dogs through and through. I’ve known several through different owners and they all had a strong dominant streak that could make them slightly unpredictable (as most dogs are at some level) or downright crazy. Maybe if this guy wants to exercise his dogs in this fashion, off his property, he should pick a place less likely to encounter other people on foot or wheel, like, say, Fort Hunt Park. Just go around the circle.

On another note, I do know where this guy lives, saw him exit his igloo a couple weeks ago.
