Glad you're ok!
To be honest, I would probably have the lead on unlocked if it's a quiet road with not alot of traffic and only with a trained animal that I'm fairly sure won't do something like that. It's the whole point of having one of those leads.
What's galling though is how she instantly blames the bike.
I think I'd have gone ballistic at her at that point.
With any luck the incident scared her (she could've lost her dog and been responsible for you coming off your bike and also getting hurt). I suspect she'll have the lead on lock from now on...
If I ever have a dog again I'll remember what happened to you. It seems you can never be too sure.
