Leashed & unleashed as adjective

Hi,

"Sometime, a leashed dog is more dangerous than the unleashed one."

Are the words "leashed" and "unleashed" in the sentence above adjectives?

Thanks, A.L.

No, they are verbs: the past participles of "leash" and "unleash". Their function in the sentence is that of 'modifier'. They modify the nouns "dog" and "one".
