That is human and fun. On the way we meet a friend with a dog. If the four-legged friends get along, we like to let them romp together. A good opportunity to chat. But be careful! Keep an eye on the surroundings. It's not okay (and not allowed) for dogs to wander off, possibly even out of sight. If someone comes into view, with or without a dog, the dogs must be called over and leashed. Exception: People know each other well and may rely on the fact that the off-leash encounter is desired by all. It is not okay if other dog owners or even people without dogs turn around because they do not dare to walk past the dogs running free. This also applies to very well recallable and peaceful dogs.
