This one dog was nipping at people, and trying to get a man's groceries out of the bags he was carrying. And one poor lady was so scared, she was crouched down on the sidewalk, almost curled up in a ball.

And when the owners finally come to round up their dogs who are bothering everyone, they have a big smile on their faces, like it's all great fun.

I don't think my dogs would hurt a stranger outside the home. I know they would protect their home. Dogs should never be allowed to run loose for the safety of others and for there own safety.

Thankfully, there are leash laws in my state, not only for the dog's protection but also for the safety of others.

It is your right to take action if you witness dogs running loose in your neighborhood. Even the most friendly dog might do unpredictable things, and you probably don’t want them around your own dogs or your children.

Some dog owners don’t seem to understand that their dogs might not behave with strangers the same way they behave with them and often dismiss the neighbors’ worries or straight up ignore them. It’s irresponsible to leave a dog unleashed, owners might be genuinely unaware of what their dog does in his free time.

For the animal's protection, we also have tethering laws.

This law specifically requires:
  • A leash must be three times the length of the pet or 10 feet, whichever is longer.
  • No tow or logged chain or pinch, choke, or prong collars used with a tether.
  • A well-fitted collar and no open sores or wounds on the dog's body.
  • The lead must be on a swivel and ideally a lead that has a coated cover to avoid getting tangled.
  • The area where the pet is kept must be kept clear of excessive feces with access to drinkable water and shade.
  • No more than nine consecutive hours on a leash in a day's time.
  • No more than 30 minutes tied up when temperatures are lower than 32 degrees or higher than 90 degrees.
Previously, the law was silent about the proper way to tether a dog, leaving a gray area for humane society officers when it came to enforcing animal cruelty laws.

There were folks all across the state who were improperly tethering their dogs, some of them without even knowing what they were doing. So this law provides them with some guidance.

What spurred the tethering requirements were some animal cruelty cases that could make a responsible pet owner's stomach turn.☹️😡

Come on you know better than that. If a dog is lost, hurt,scared or sick they all have the potential to nip or bite. They don't know where their family is, why they are alone and scared. The sweetest dog can turn in these circumstances, It is not their fault but it does not change the fact there is always a chance that a dog could bite.
