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.

But I don't think people should make the blanket statement that it's ALWAYS irresponsible/unethical/dangerous to allow your dog off leash in an urban environment -- all dogs, all places, at all times, all situations.

It's always irresponsible to have any dog off leash in any place where it's illegal to do so.
