To Hershey's Dog-Mom

If you're taking your adorable chocolate lab out for a stroll on the bike-path on a lovely Sunday afternoon, please protect your dog and other people using the path and keep him on a leash.

I witnessed an almost-accident at close range as the dog ambled from one side of the path to another, forcing a bicyclist to slam on his brakes and stop hard to avoid hitting him.

He doesn't know any better, he's just a dog, doing what dogs do. You, on the other hand, should.

Oh yeah. Dogs at least usually know how to get out of the way; leashes don't. As a cyclist, I'd much rather see an unleashed dog than a dog on a long or stretchy leash.
