I love dogs. All dogs. Love them to death.
My fucking mom just lets her little dog go wherever it wants and she almost never has it on a leash. I keep telling her that something is going to go wrong and it will be her fault because she wasn't on a leash, it my mom doesn't seem concerned because she has her dog trained fairly well. And to be fair she does come and stay on command, but I still just find it irresponsible to have a dog in public without a leash.
One of the places I grew up people would do this with their tiny dogs. Every family had a story of the time a hawk/eagle would make off with one of their tiny dogs. Still didn't use leashes or watch their dogs tho 🤷♀️
Edit: just remembered we lived near a canyon too with a trail along the top edge. People's unleashed dogs would chase after something and go flying off the cliff. Rescue helicopters would train for people by rescuing (or usually just retrieving the body of) all the dogs
Basically they're feeding the local raptor population with their dogs, like that story about coyotes and rescue cats.
My brother’s dog Frankie was like that. Coming when called by name didn’t stop the car that hit Frankie when he darted into the road. RIP
This is probably what will happen and when it does I don't know how I'm gonna keep my mouth shut.
