Old Speckled Hen Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 I saw a guy do that with a horse in Ireland. Co Galway to be precise. Frightened the living daylights out of me. I was driving and saw the horse first on a bend. I couldn't believe it was on a lead and halter with the man's arm sticking out of the car window Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Now I've seen cyclists with dogs on a lead (still dangerous), but that just takes the biscuit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlo Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Why bother having a dog if that is your idea of walking it!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 A couple of houses down from me drive to the woods near the post box and let the dog out there. Then they drive back up. Now Jlo knows how close the woods are - all of about 2 minutes walk away. For the sake of 2 minutes - why???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donna_0 Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 What.a.moron! Doesn't deserve animals if he can't be bothered to spend some quality time with them, let alone doing dangerous things. You just can't believe some people can you? Donna x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Speckled Hen Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 I could never understand people cycling round the park with their dog in tow or fast runners taking their dog. I jog through the fields with mine but I am very slow so he has time to sniff,snort and mark the trail. Dogs need to explore and they always go four times your own distance when you walk them. Otherwise you might as well put them on a treadmill. When I was at Uni in Glasgow people used to put their dogs out when they went to work and they would be waiting for them on the step in the evening having spent their day in a pack avoiding the traffic.

The Dogmother Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Sometimes (and this newspaper article is one of them) I can't understand why people have pets - particularly dogs, which need to much interaction. There's a woman who 'walks' her dog in the park at the bottom of my road. I used the verb 'walk' in it's loosest term.... she has her headphones in her ears and stomps around, dragging her dog after her and cussing at it to do its business, apart from that, there's no interaction between her and her dog/the surroundings. The dog growls when anyone, or any other dog approaches it. It is a lovely border collie; one of the most intelligent breeds, so it woudl need a lot of mental stimulation and human interaction - they are a one person breed.

Valkyrie Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 That would be the one that overtook Erin and Murray while cycling and stopped right in front of them - Erin went into the back of the car! Luckily she was wearing her helmet (smashed) and the car still has a dent in the back. No love lost there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
