I was out walking my two mutts last night the usual route but later than normal. I noticed two girls walking their two dogs across the road, one a wee doggy and the other a big inu breed I think, which was on an extendable lead. The big dog did his/her business in the grass beside the pavement and when the girl went to clean up must not have secured the dog back to a manageable lead length and the dog ran out in front of a car. The car had two young children in it and luckily the driver stopped before any harm was done. The dog owner could not have been more apologetic and I think both were shaken up.
This is simply to make people aware that extendable leads should, in most cases, only be used in appropriate areas, beside busy roads perhaps not being one of these areas as dogs can become distracted so easily and run out in the road if not kept within reach.
Happy and safe walking everyone!
