Re: A rant by Besoeker
I had a rant at someone this morning.Why people think it's acceptable to walk dogs without leads on roads is beyond me!
They pretend they're clever, "training" dogs to walk uncontrolled, not next to them but wandering ahead and intimidating other dogs by standing over them, hackles raised.
Poor Dolly gets terrified, all you get is, "they only want to play (or say hello)".

Do you really think he should have been on a lead there?

I'm not saying ,Besoeker,that your dog would attack another,I always keep my dog on a lead,unfortunately he was attacked,some years ago,by a dog that was off a lead,in a very public field,what if that had been a child?..it has put me off taking him to public places,where dogs are off leads,I take him along the main road now,obviously on the pavement,imo,all dogs are unpredictable in certain areas.you can never know 100% how they will react around certain dogs/children.
