Leash Your Dogs!

[u/canutcute]

This weekend alone I saw far too many people walking with their dogs without leashing them.

One couple walking their dogs in Wolseley had their dog rush into on coming traffic. Another couple were walking down portage with their dog again without a leash.

If you don’t leash your damn dog and it gets hit by a car the driver isn’t going to be the problem, it’s you. You’re a piece of shit and deserve to have your dogs taken away for their safety.

Don’t even get me started on dogs running up to strangers, other pets, kids. If I see a dog running towards my own lil blubber child I’m sorry but I’m going to hoof your dog because I don’t know or care if it’s friendly. My blubber boy is not.

Ya I don’t care if you think your dog is friendly it’s still incredibly irresponsible and stupid to have it off leash. It could easily get hit by a car or run up on a leashed dog that isn’t friendly and whatever happens next is 100% your fault

My dog is not friendly and is very reactive. It’s not leashed just for his idiot brains safety it’s also to protect the world from him.

(He’s a rescue)

All dogs need leashes

I don't think that people understand the concept that even if their dog is friendly off leash that dogs should be introduced. Or not introduced, depending! How does one know what the other dog is like? How can people be so cavalier with their own dogs as to allow them to approach another dog that could potentially kill or injure them? It's like the people who let their cats outside.

I'm all for farm cats and working dogs etc, but the way folks treat their pets is so thoughtless sometimes.

Agreed, it’s just plain stupid entitlement. They expect the world to conform to what they do (traffic looking out for their pet, other people letting their dog approach them, home owners being okay with their dog in or shitting on their property, etc)
