The owners should have kept the gate closed and shouldn’t have the dog tied up. Dogs are more defensive if they’re tied up and can’t defend themselves if necessary. If Fred gets in a fight with this dog and gets hurt, it won’t be the fault of that dog’s owners but the fault of Fred’s owners because they let him run loose. For his own protection, Fred should be in a nice fenced yard or on a leash. I know this is a comic, but . . . .
