WTF?
So today I went for a walk on the beach with my wife (her birthday). We had two of our dogs with us. The beach was populated - so we had our dogs on leash. If the beach is empty - we'll often let them run off leash, but they come when called. Immediately.
So on to the story... Guy has a labrador - running FAR in front of him. Off leash. Dog is running up to everyone - K9 or human, ends up facing off with another off leash dog. Nothing came of it, but could have. So I asked if he had a leash "nope - don't have one on me". Said something about there being a leash law and him obviously having no control over his dog (dog refused to come when call - obviously a game).
Dip...poop... gives me this "we don't use leashes 'round here" and "ya'll with leashed dogs are the real problem"
I have no problem with dogs off leash - in the proper setting, and with a well trained dog - dogs enjoy time off leash. But in a densley populated area, with a poorly trained dog - just an accident/ bite/ dog fight waiting to happen. Of course - had a bite happened, the off leash lab would have all of a sudden been a pit bull.
Damn irresponsible dog owners!
Just had to rant...
Yup... I"m the problem! The RESPONSIBLE DAMN DOG OWNER PROBLEM.
