Most of the time if you expect people to do the right thing, you will come away disappointed.  If you want to avoid traffic collisions, you should drive defensively.  If you want good personal safety, you need to be aware and take measures to protect yourself.  And if you're flying quads, you need to analyze your situation and see what risks/potential risks there are to you and to others and make good decisions.  Flying FPV makes you vulnerable to being a victim.  You can mitigate that by not just enjoying the flight, but watching your surroundings.  In the air you usually will have a better view of the area, use it and be smart.  Even if interrupting your flight is required.

Well said brother! 100% in agreement! The wife even said "that sounds exactly like something you would say!" (we social media together haha, I peek at her FB vids and her at my forum/quad stuff )

I absolutely agree it is ones best interest to be aware of your surrounding thereby making you better able to respond to any potential threats.  However, the bottom line here is that not only legally, but ethically as well, it is the responsibility of the dog handler to have control of those animals.  That said, if the pilot had a spotter, the incident may have been avoided as well.

Oh yes, completely agree. Same principles and responsabilities apply to the dog owner as well.
