The dogs should be kept on the leash. The rule makes good sense for people and animals.

Yah....holding onto the leash (dinner) just gets the bears to come to you too....
The dog runnning home getting chased by a bear is an "old wives tale" that has been around the block once or twice......although I am sure someone has done "research" on the topic....oh wait a minute
