I had a big scare last week when staying at the beach with Ginger. Her regular everyday harness was being laundered and she had to go out. So, I put one of her vest harnesses on and walked out the door with her. Our house shared a path to the beach with several other houses, and even went out to the road (the very busy road). Just as we started down the stairs to the yard Ginger spied two people walking up the path (towards the road) and took off to greet them. Took off and WASNT attached to me! I paniced and called her. She usually has a pretty good recall, works great in my fenced in yard, (alot of good that does). But she didn't heed my calls.
Anyway, she chased the people right out to the road, fortunately they stopped to see her and I asked them to walk back towards me. I was able to get her then. Whew!!!!
But, the problem??? The D ring that had been sewn into her harness was not a solid D but had a "split" along the flat side (the side that's hidden by the fabric of her harness). I then checked out my other vest harnesses and found that 2 more had the same type of D ring. Needless to say, I won't be using them again.
Please, check the D rings on your harnesses. Make sure they are solid. Pure luck saved Ginger that day. |
