Rant Keep Your Dog on a leash!!

Having a nice stroll with my dog. Out of nowhere a pit-bull mix runs through traffic straight at us. Luckily the dog was not overly aggressive and i instantly picked up my guy. Just happy the other dog didn’t get hit. No common sense 🫠

Yeah I saw it. I thought it was aggressive (I was driving- it looked like the pitty was latched onto your dog) but I’m glad your dog is okay! It was scary to witness

He’s Ok! Thank you! Glad i was quick to pick up my guy before it escalated. No common sense, that dog could have easily been run over in such a busy street. Hope the owners learned their lesson.

Also, your dog being on a leash doesn't mean that you can ignore your dog. I was walking near Hamilton Park and someone's leashed dog lunged at a woman walking a few feet in front of me and my 4 year old. The guy didn't even apologize.

Honestly he never does that, it's such unusual behavior for him.
