Of course he is on a harness and leash!
As to "letting him be a dog" He is 700 grams and just got his last shot a couple weeks ago. Before that he never went on the ground as the vet said no. He is learning and is a puppy. I don't know if you live in a big busy city, but it is really wild here. Very very dense amount of people who just don't see him and he is a baby and runs under all the feet. He would be squashed in about 1 minute or less! That's why he stays with me in the bag or in my arms until I find a quieter spot for him.
"letting him be a dog" Is the argument of the man in the restaurant. Dogs usually are larger than 700 grams (about ONE pound)
I put him on the ground to meet small and medium dogs, and lab type dogs if the owner says they are not aggressive. There are a few bulldogs in my area that are aggressive and growl at him. He stays in the bag when I see them. |
