Until you have had to run down a street in bare feet because you heard the screaming from a block away, and util you've have to crawl underneath a car and pull a small pup who's hind part of body was mush, full of blood and heard the sound coming from his terrified little self until he choked on his own blood cuz all I could do was hold him tight as he died in MY ARMS cuz his owner was too busy screaming instead of helping....then you can tell me that my post is wrong.
I'm not telling anyone what to do, I'm telling you what can and does happen daily, the thing that gets me is that I've seen all of these things HERE on YT and still.... |
I think all of us have had dogs get out our back fence or front door at one time or another, haven't we? Or they accidentally got out of the place where we left them to be cared for by others. Most of them run off when that happens.
Tibbe used to escape out the front door more than he ever got out the back until I trained him not to do that. Watch your front doors as well as the back yard and home alone situations and be certain we trust the people we have watch them when they are not with us. Dogs staying at the vet, groomers, daycare, pet hotels, homes of family and friends, etc., are also at risk. Going over how your dog will be secured and kept safe with their caregiver when you are away from them is also vitally important.
Dogs traveling with us must be watched and kept safe. Dogs left in cars are at risk of any number of things.
Train your dogs not to come near the open front door and not to leave their front yards for extra safety and be very careful where and with whom we leave them.
