I understand walking your dog on a leash can be tiresome, and we all would
like our dogs to run and play, but there is a leash law, and its for
everyone's safety. Your dog can get hit by a car (which you're responsible
legally to pay for car damages), your dog could get into a fight with other
dogs (again you're legally responsible, especially if the other dog is
leashed) and I'm extremely tired of pit bull/ powerful dog owners who allow
their dogs to roam unleashed! FYI- Some of us have had it with our dogs
being attacked, or bothered while we walk our dogs on a leash. FYI- Your
dog could be the most well behaved dog in your yard, but if your dog is off
leash, there isn't a thing you can do to stop it from running away, or
doing anything unexpected, and a "Sorry dude, my bad", is a lame excuse. If
you want a dog, you take responsibility of it, or face the consequences of
it, legally, or a wounded dog. And bystanders, if you see a dog attack
another person or dog, do something! Anything! Standing there watching,
isn't going to help anyone, and the least you can do is take down a license
plate number or description of the dog/owner before they run off and leave
a person or dog wounded!
