Nowt so strange as (some) dog owners..

Took Leo out for a good walk today to a very large country park.
As is usual for this place, there were many others around even though it was heavily pissing it down...
And, as us usual, Leo was his happy sociable self, running around with the others and generally having a great time.
As we rounded a corner, up ahead of us was a woman with a dog off its lead (that's OFF its lead) with an upside down dunces hat around its neck.
With the conversation I had with the woman I can only assume the dunces cap had slipped from her head and inadvertently landed on her dog..
So, Leo wanders up to her dog and they start playing - bouncing around, running in circles - you know, having a great time.
Woman shouts at me to get Leo to stop and to move away - appears her dog has stitches in its tummy and isn't allowed to run around...
sooooo..... I looked at her with that 'not sure if serious' meme going through my head - and she starts getting quite abusive, has a good Anglo Saxon vocabulary and start waving her arms about.
With this, I whistle Leo over and off we trot around the next corner - to be met with a woman walking 6 lively dogs off the lead heading towards Mrs Grotbags...
My point to all this is, why would you walk a dog with stitches, that shouldn't be running around, off its lead in a park frequented primarily by dogs running around?
Would you class Leo (as described above) as being 'uncontrolled' as she put it?
