Yesterday I saw a fat man on a bicycle, dragging his dog by the neck on a leash beside him. The poor dog was clearly exhausted and tired. The dog was crying and howling, probably thirsty as well as tired. But the fat man on the bicycle didn't care. He just dragged the dog by its neck as he continued to peddle his bicycle. Finally the dog's legs buckled out under it, stopping the fat man on the bicycle. The fat man now off his bicycle got mad and yanked hard on the dog's leash. The dog's neck jerked where the leash strangled the dog's neck. The dog's head bounced back and forth. Just more misery to being exhausted and thirsty. The fat man got angry and kicked his bike. How dare his dog be tired!
"Your dog would probably prefer you walk him." I calmly said.
"It's a her, not a him!" The fat man spat back.
"It's too hot out to be running your dog like that. No wonder she got tired. All that fur." I calmly reply.
"She needs exercise. She'd getting fat!" The fat man spat back.
"Maybe she should peddle the bicycle and you should run behind it on the leash. The exercise seems more fitting. Have a nice day."
Be nice to your dogs.
Get body harnesses, not leashes around the neck.
I see people on bicycles dragging their dogs behind them on leashes. This isn't cute or adorable. And you're not "walking" your dog, you're dragging your dog. Plus you're slowing down the bicycle lane with your vulgar display of asshole-ness.
