This morning on St. Charles cart lane there were two woman on bicycles riding in tandem and each one had a dog tethered to the bike via a leash. The dog is running alongside the bike on the white line only a couple of feet from passing cars. I've seen three different woman doing this on St. Charles over the past six months, but today was the first time seeing two together.
It's only a matter of time before one of these dogs will be hit by a car and killed, which is going to be terrible for the driver and the innocent dog that has the ignorant owner. Yes, it's great to keep your dog healthy but alive is much better. I think next time I see this I'm going to say something, but usually I'm in too much shock, it's really quite a sight.
