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.

You are exactly right. Seeing this would make me think "roadkill waiting to happen" and it would be my worst nightmare to even
imagine hitting a dog like this, which in turn would pull the dumb bicyclist down and under cars' wheels too. It would be a horrific sight never to be forgotten. I don't know how people who do such things will ever wake up.
