This is contradictory. Dedicated bike infrastructure is for bikes only. Pedestrians and dogs should have their own dedicated, also physically segregated (from the bikes!), paths.
Mixed bike/pedestrian paths is horrible for everyone. The cyclists who cannot ride efficiently and are constantly worried someone or their dog are suddenly going to appear in front of them, and for the pedenstrian (and their dogs) who, as you aptly described, have to be constantly worried about getting run over by a bike.
I do agree pretty much with everything else in your comment though.
