Dogs on a leash

I slept angry last night because of a small incident that had the potential to escalate into a life threatening one and it upset me that I was able to get so aggravated.

Each night I take the two dogs I'm caring for this summer out to the compound garden to wee.
I did the same last night except this time a large dog came bounding upto one of my dogs and began curiously sniffing.
This in itself is alarming because the dog wasn't on a leash and the dog on mine was getting visibly alarmed.
Thankfully the large dog was only curious and the dog owners kept screaming for him to come back which he didn't but a moment later another smaller dog, a shibu inu perhaps came galloping (also without a leash) and immediately attacked my female dog.
I had shortened their leashes to keep them
Back but the smaller dog was relentless and there was screaming, yapping, woofing and yelping which followed and the owners came running but weren't able to pull their smaller dog back.
The larger dog had now taken to barking in the background and the other dog I had was creating a ruckus of his own.
Manning both the leashes keeping one dog out of the conflict while pulling the one who was already in the mess didn't help because the fight wasn't stopping and the idiots who were their owners somehow callously pulled back their dog.
What followed was a verbal tirade where I near screamed at them to keep their dogs on a leash.

I returned home to inspect the wounds and my sweetheart had suffered bites and was bleeding.
Nothing grievous but it hurt me to look at the small marks of blood welling out of her chest, stomach and elbow.

I cleaned her up, applied medicine and almost cried .

How I slept was a mystery because I woke up when it wasn't yet light and went to check up on the dogs, hoping her hurt was better.

She had licked licked them all night and when I saw her this morning they were all but disappeared .
That deserved an extra treat and a longer walk and I'll inspect her once again and apply medication if need to.
But thankfully the bites were mostly superficial and the hurts only skin deep.

If she had gotten grievously injured I'd have slaughtered that entire family of people, leaving their pets alive.
