It's not clear where he stopped/slowed down once he reached the dog path.

Fights right after they've been chased by a stranger for no known reason....

So such a scenario as I've described would be pretty unusual and nonsensical, correct? nt

Did you follow them and chase them for reasons that would be unknown to them?
