I am still here,I just quit commenting because everyone was piling on and attacking me.
The reason for my outburst was because this subject pops up every few months.
" My poor fluffy got run over by a car.The driver was driving x miles per hour"
Everyone takes side and it ends up with a bunch of name calling.(Is karma a one way street?)
Everyone starts citing laws and ordinances and coming up with solutions.
My idea is to use common sense.Keep your dog on a leash while on or near a public highway.Try to keep your dog confined to your yard.
I realize some dogs are escape artists.I had a 14 year battle with a dog that could escape from almost anywhere.
I believe I got my point across and got everyone talking about this.I believe that quite a few agree with me, even though they disagree with my approach. If it prevents one dog from being killed, In my mind it will all be worth it.
