OTOH, free dog. And you'd probably give it a better life than the person that tied it there.
NTA. Your bike, your rules.
This was my first thought!
Is this Toronto? This looks a lot like Toronto. If you're from Toronto you should know that there is a city by-law that states if a cute dog is tied to your bike and you take a picture of it and submit it to Lemmy that you then legally get to keep the dog. Just FYI.
Sees a street that could be literally anywhere
Should be Canada, Toronto alright.
The fuck mate xD
To be fair to OP, that combination of red bricks between the curb and sidewalk, the specific type of bike loop, and the streetcar tracks with slabs around them are all over Toronto, but I haven't see them all together in other cities I've been to.
Not like I could proof you wrong soooo.....I believe you?
Edit: Lemmy hivemind is as bad regarding downvotes.
I can't speak to every other city of course, but the photo looks just like Queen East ion Toronto:
Not the exact spot, I'm too lazy to find that specific bike lock, but that area of street view shows all the features in OPs photo.
You need some Geoguesser in your life. There are people who will tell you where exactly in the world this is, only from the picture.
Free dog!
Not sure if you are suggesting op gets a dog free of cost or that they should set the dog free, but I think both options are acceptable.
Sure, free until you have to feed it and pay vet bills.
Free pet for a day, free roast for the next... /s
Don’t be cruel, you can just tie it to a bike when you’re done.
What is more infuriating is the dog's leash doesn't look like it even has enough length for the dog to lie down.
Tied so tight, poor thing!
Yeah. It does look too tight for the poor thing to sit or lie comfortably.
Looks like you just met your new room mate and best friend.
I don't understand people that tie up their dogs like this. They're just asking for the dog to be taken. And I don't know about you, but I assume people who steal dogs don't steal them to re-home them. So why do people do this? Don't you love your dog? Wouldn't you want to prevent this entirely preventable situation if you love them? Of course, this particular photo has a whole other element of absent mindedness, so I guess they're just plain stupid ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
A lot of times, the owner just got told to not bring the dog into wherever they were going.
Rather than coming back, they see no problem Tying up the dog.
Call animal control. crappy dog owners need a wake up call. (Especially in this case. That dog looks close to strangling itself,)
The worst I’ve seen was people going to a baseball game. I was working security for an event lot, they showed up an hour before the game, which probably ran 3 hours or so, and they were a couple hours later coming back.
Sure, they cracked the window! But it was high-nineties with high humidity. And the dogs were crates in the back and covered with heavy blankets. It took some convincing for them to get permission to open it up (the measurable interior was just below the threshold, but with the blankets… well the temp in the crate was 110F.)
Sweetest puppies you’ve ever met, got to sit with them while animal control filed out the paper work.
When they came back they were … not entirely sober and pissed enough the cops had to come back out. Their justification was that they wanted to go to a ball game and couldn’t leave them at home because separation anxiety…
Absentmindedness is a very mild way of saying that they're almost strangling the dog. The poor guy has no room to move. This dog would be coming home with me.
I used to tie my ugly mutt up in front of the corner market while I grab a few things. Never to someone’s bike of course.
I do not take such a risk with my expensive purebred.
you are a disgusting person
Why? Because I know which dog might get stolen?
Should I have denied the mutt walks because of what people might think? Or should I endanger the purebred out of some strange sense of fairness?
Without the additional context it easily sounds like you don't give a shit what happens to some mutt.
Nobody was going to steal a grumpy arthritic mutt.
He was a good dog, but not much “curb appeal”.
Definitely a free doggo
Who says doggo? You should shut the fuck uppgo
I first heard this term in Australia/NZ ten years ago or so. Seemed like a common name for canines there.
If you tie him to someone else's bike, what is your alignment?
Congrats on your new doggo!
Cool! You own a dog now!
When life gives you especially cute doggos, you keep them good floofers. That dogs looking at you, asking with their eyes "you're seeing this right? This is all the time for me. If I take a nap I will dies."
So much stress in that poor adorable face.
cut the tie
Guess you got a new dog, OP.
