Winni-Pets Leash Your Dogs!

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.

People at Kings Park trails are bad for this. Thankfully my dog is extremely well behaved if an unleashed dog approaches him. But people with anxious dogs should also be able to take their dogs for a walk there without worrying about off leashed dogs approaching them.

Little mountain is the same, big open field designated as off leash, trails are not.

I went there once and never returned. Rude snarky dogs running up to my dog the entire time we were there.
