Kicking Puppies…
Why are people so absolutely unaware of what they do to people around them? I am starting to get really annoyed at the way that many people in Chicago have those tiny little dogs on leads that are 6ft long, with the dogs walking waaay out at the side of the owner.
The worst ones are where you are walking along on a fairly thin path, the owner walks next to the buildings and the dog walks right out by the kerbing, because what happens is that you walk along and wind up with a lead over your feet.
In the past I have kicked shopping out of people’s hands because they would not even allow me space to walk past and give room to another human being over their precious shopping bag, should I start kicking their dogs too?
A properly trained dog will walk by the side of your leg, because the dog accepts that is the only place you ever let it walk. Owning a dog is actually really easy and is very much like raising a child, you set their limits and you hold them to it, you will reap the rewards of good behaviour.
