6) Your dog may be friendly but wildlife may not be. I knew several dogs who died from rattlesnake bites because they were off leash and their owner couldn’t pull them away. Likewise I knew a couple who got hurt falling off trails or wandering into brambles, etc.

7) Your dog may be friendly, but that doesn’t mean they can’t or won’t hurt someone on accident. I used to work with dogs, and 90% of the injuries (yes even the serious ones) were from dogs who didn’t mean any harm. Anything from scratches from dogs who needed a nail trim to being tripped and nearly dragged into traffic by big dogs with poor leash manners (because their owner never leash trained them).

Everyone else talked about outdoor cats, it's time for me to talk about offleash dogs

#leash your fuckin dog #I’ve seen too many dogs hurt because their owner wouldn’t fuckin leash them #I’ve seen too many PEOPLE hurt because their owner wouldn’t leash them #ALSO!! having an extendable leash on your dog and not watching them doesn’t fucking count #if your dog has 30 feet of shenanigans all you’ve done is add a tripwire to the problem #AND IT DOESN’T COUNT if your dog is ON leash but you let go of the fucking leash #‘oh well I can just grab the leash super fast’ I don’t think you know how fucking fast dogs are #and how small the handle of a leash is #you’re more likely to grab the dog itself than any part of the leash #so HOLD ONTO THE LEASH
