My dogs are allowed off leash in my fenced in backyard and that is it. Not in public,not ever. The leash laws are there to protect everyone.
I watched a guy in the HomeDepot parking lot walk from the store to his truck with a beautiful scottie trotting behind him,,,NO LEASH. I wanted to jump out of the truck and let him have it. His dog was walking on HOT blacktop,in a parking lot with moving cars and trucks.
I used to be able to take my babies to a microbrewery here in FtW until some yuts let their min-snauzer pick a fight with a great dane. The dane just stood there like,would someone please get this off of my neck! The only dog that has charged me lately while on a walk was a 2lb chi REALLY. The owner was very apologitic but REALLY, put it on a leash. |
