Sunshine (she/her)Police seeking suspect after woman attacked by 2 ‘unleashed dogs’ near Kensington Market
KitI’ve been having repeated problems in my neighborhood with people either letting their dog off leash, or dropping the leash by accident (especially old women with 80lb+ dogs). I’ve had to start carrying mace and a maglite to protect myself and my 20lb dog after he got attacked twice in a month. It’s so frustrating.
Same in our area, pittie got loose when owner was startled by meeting another dogwalker at a corner and dropped the leash. Pittie went right for other dogs throat. And we have other idiots letting their dog of leash at a kids park. All she needed was those wrist straps that lock the leash to you.
Last week a lady had her dog want to go after someone’s leashed cat at the park, she said he’s a hunting dog so he might attack, so she leashed him. Then 30 feet later let’s the dog back off leash. Like what an idiot, you know your dog has issues but you do it anyway.
Bad dogs are almost always a function of bad owners.
Too many small women are getting large dogs that they can’t/won’t control, and then doing fuckall to train them. That’s not the dogs’ fault; it’s 100% on the owners.
I don’t disagree with the training, the difference is an untrained Maltese is not killing kids.
Its like an 8 year old kid loose with BB gun or Shotgun. Shotgun is this bigger danger by nature
