Thanks for all the kind words. It really does help to hear from other animal lovers on here.
As for the leash...you are absolutely right because of Murphys Law. I hadn't been up this trail for a while but every time prior was with a leash. Since he was more mature now, there was nobody else there, and my friend took his dog off-leash, I thought I was ok. I was more worried about him running off trail and facing a bear than I would be him falling off a cliff.
I am going to make a big sign/memorial to remind people to be careful there. The idea of this alone is making me feel better. But for now, I'm heading out for a beer.
You guys rock.
