1. The owner is endangering this animal by not protecting it from traffic

and other hazards. It's all fun and games until the dog gets run over.

2. The dog got off the leash.

How could the dog's owner "protect it from traffic and other hazards" after he got off the leash?

3. she says he has done this many times before and gone to restaurants, etc.

Every time you feed a dog you are training it or if the dog just takes food that is a self-rewarding behavior, and it will repeat the behaviors it did leading up to being fed. Her dog is now trained to go around the neighborhood, be cute and get food. All of which is fine. It doesn't sound like she is employing collar, leash, harness, fences, doors, training, guidance, supervision, etc. in an effective way. My concern is traffic.

Dog ownership 101: "Prevent the event."
