I don't normally put things like this but I'm fed up of some people not being responsible dog owners.
The foul mouthed dog owner which I had a run in with today can call me all you like. It's your dog and the driver of a car that I'm concerned about. So if you want to take low tone with me then go ahead. But if your dog does get run over and is killed, DO NOT put it all over Facebook looking for sympathy. At the end of the day it's YOUR FAULT for not having your dog on a lead near roads, and a very busy road at that.
PLEASE TAKE TIME TO READ THIS AND BE A RESPONSIBLE DOG OWNER
I have in approx the last year, been witness to a dog being killed which was off a lead near a main road. The owner said "she never goes on the road. The dog had seen a cat on the opposite side of the busy road, ran over the road towards the cat and was knocked over and killed by a car.
I've seen other dogs off leads running on roads because their owners say," my dog is well trained". Take responsibility. Let your dogs off leads in safe areas. Next to a road is NOT a safe place for your dog to be off a lead.
Today I have had a not so pleasant run in with a not so lovely, foul mouthed person around the Stepney road area of Scarborough. I was walking my dogs, on leads. This person's dog was off lead near a busy road. Said persons dog followed me despite said person calling it. Obviously not in control of said person. My reaction "it should be on a lead".
Person, I have my dog under control.
Me, clearly not as it didn't come back to you when you called it back.
Person, you one if these professional dog walkers?
Me, I've had dogs since I was 4 years old and I've managed to keep them under control plus your dog could run onto that road, get run over and that driver has to live with that due to you not having your dog on a lead near a busy road.
Person, ah f # # you ugly f***in c*nt.
Me. Aren't you such a lovely, polite person!
This was all said in front of kids that said person had with them. Said persons back also turned on their dog which was still off a lead.
PLEASE BE RESPONSIBLE AND KEEP YOUR DOGS ON LEADS NEAR BUSY ROADS.
The dog may well be good off its lead but it takes just the one time when it's not. When it's distracted by something and it runs across the busy road.
Not only have you lost your dog but that driver has to live with killing your dog by you not taking responsibility.
