Brucernelson, (or anyone else in the area) If you see this again please call the police. That man is not only exhibiting stupidity, but abuse.

Thank you John W. for doing the right thing. Seems like an episode of "What would you do?" and you passed with flying colors.

About 4 years ago I passed a woman on St. Charles Blvd on a bicycle with a dog running next to the bike while on a leash attached to the seat of the bike. This is in a golf cart lane of a very busy two lane street where cars are passing by at 35 mph at about 2 to 3' distance from the dog and bike. The first time I saw her, I was lost for words, later I was never able to say anything since the situation didn't permit.

After seeing this woman and dog about 3 more times, I encountered her with a second woman also on a bike with a dog. This time they turned off St. Charles and went up Tamarind Grove Blvd. I followed her a short distance to the mail stop and then I explained to her the dangers of what she was doing. Not only cars, but the leash itself could be entangled with the wheel, the spokes, she could be thrown and hurt. She didn't take to my viewpoint and saw nothing wrong with what she was doing. So I emphasized to her, if I ever see you again with the dog tied to your bike going down the street, I was calling the police. That's the last time I ever saw her and her dog.

If that is the case, then maybe he could get someone who could walk the dog for him.

Well let me see ............ first let me say he likes dogs more than he likes people so there would have been a lot of noise, arms and legs flying all over the place, name calling resulting in the police being called and we would have had to move because he has embarrassed me so badly! How's that?

That's because she has changed routes into the interior Tamarind Grove streets. She's still doing it, trust me.

I saw the Cadillac pulling away with a cute little brown dog barking and trying to keep up with the car. It looked like he was ditching his poor little dog. As I’m walking I’m thinking of how I can bring this dog back home with me. As I got back to the VA clinic, the car came back this time driving slower with the dog walking beside it and no longer appearing upset. I talked to the guy and told I thought he was trying to lose his dog but he laughed and said he was just exercising him. Although it doesn’t seem like a very safe exercise regime for your dog, I was relieved.

I think there are to many people putting their noses in, where they should not be. If the dogs were terrified, or did not like it, they would not run.
My old dogs used to run along off the lead when I had a bycycle years ago.
They loved it, and are a lot brighter than you think regarding self preservation.
As for collies and shepherds, they are doing what comes naturaly, just herding the vehicle.
