Dogs not on a leash

Katrina Neighbourly Lead from Cracroft

I bike along the river to pioneer leisure centre about three times a week. I have seen dogs off leashes attack each other. I've seen dogs off leashes attack dogs on leashes. I've seen dogs run towards other people and only pull back when called by owners. Yesterday I saw pretty much all these things and a dog chased my bike and was called off. I carried on biking up the hump that leads to pioneer with the sound of yelling and whistling behind me. I passed a man at the top of the hump holding a baby in one arm and the hand of a toddler in the other. He stared down at all that was going on and I think he was reconsidering his walk. I was thinking at this stage that no matter how amazing you think your dog is if you want to walk it off a leash take it to a place where that is ok. Public paths are not that place. Owners who do keep leashes on would say the same thing. I saw a terrified woman the other day who had her dog on a leash and that dog was being attacked by a dog off a leash. The owner of this dog treated it as a ha ha moment "my dog wouldn't really hurt your dog". That might be true, but it didn't stop her or her dog from being scared. Rant over 😀.
