The Gunnar-man and I have managed to elude the authorities since being reported for leashlessness and while I leash him when I'm near the complainer's house I allow him to walk free most of the time. Everybody else we've ever run into is fine with him being loose, as he just collects compliments for being so well behaved. We had a great example of that yesterday, as a local DPW guy stopped his truck to inform me that Gunnar and I were being followed by a deer. Sure enough, there was a young deer tagging along on people's lawns as we strolled the sidewalk, clearly fascinated by Gunnar, who was certainly curious back. But after being told to be good, he didn't bark or chase, and they made tentative friends, getting to within a couple of feet of each other. When it was time to move on, the deer continued to follow us for a few houses, and when we went for a second walk later in the day, Gunnar eagerly searched for his new buddy. All in all a funny experience, and one that sounds a little farfetched, so I have some photographic evidence of the encounter to quell any skepticism. And no, I don't know what that growth is by the deer's left eye.
