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.

bike path etiquette

Yeah, and unfortunately, it shows up in all forms - I'm not trying to single out dog-owners as Teh Big Bad, because dog knows I've seen many, many other displays of piss-poor path etiquette (detailed in comments further down) by people, kids, and so on.

This was just such at close range that I was really horrified how near-miss it was.
