Would you call it a man walking a dog, or a dog walking a man?

The area I go to for daily prayer and fellowship with the brethren is visited by many dog walkers. There is this particular man who comes through with a very beautiful, but large Husky. He is not a large man, he is short with a small build. I am sure he believes he is walking his dog, but the animal seems to be pulling him along; they are not strolling as most other owners are with their dogs. He seems to be fighting the dog to keep the dog on course or to slow the speed of the dog down. It is as if the dog is directing things and he is trying to just hang on. When you see owners struggling with their dogs do you see it as a man walking a dog, or the dog walking the man?
