I personally think it depends on the circumstances, all dogs behave differently in the presence of other dogs, personally I think there should be a general ban on people owning more than one dog, and all animals tend to be defensive around their young.
This particular case was in every way the worst case scenario I can think of, more than one dog, so that essentially a pack responce happens, puppies as well, strangers they don't know and another strange dog involved, it really couldn't have been any more stupid and irresponsible, the owners should have known better as should the friends.
That said I think almost every dog owner I meet in Vancouver is a complete mong, I am fed up of owners that don't watch their dogs like hawks, arn't aware of the enviroment around them, other dogs or cats or children half a mile away etc, and keep dogs that don't come on command and stay on command, if you can't whistle your dog back and make him stay on command you really shouldn't have a dog .
I also hate 'dog parks' where fat assed crustys sit around smoking weed and ignoring their dogs and think this is somehow exercise, its called 'walking the dog' for a reason (this is probably just an east vancouver thing).
