My excitement was with a dog not off-leash. Instead the dog was on one of those leashes on a reel that allow them to be 10 or 12 feet away from the owner. Came around a nearly blind corner (having slowed anyway out of caution) and there was the dog on one side of the trail, the owner on the other, and the leash tight between. Got stopped OK, then the owner yelled at the "dumb" dog. (Hint: It's not the dog that's dumb.) Owner never said a word to me. Could have been really ugly if I was going faster. Cheers.
