Puppy running along the road!!

[jbenny75]

On my way home from work today, I spied two dogs running alongside the road (a side two-laner, but still moderately busy). One was a small Shih Tzu type, and the other was a Siberian Husky puppy. Less than six months, I would guess. I couldn't believe my eyes. So, as usual while everyone else just braked and drove by, I stopped. They were both the cutest things, but especially that puppy. NO COLLAR OR TAGS!!!:mad: The smaller dog had a collar, but no tag. I walked up to the house we were in front of, but no one answered, so I walked next door. The smaller dog followed me, I carried the puppy. A guy came out and said, "Oh, yeah, they live here. Where were they?" I was like, "ON THE ROAD!!" He said, "Well, we just got this puppy, He doesn't listen at all." :mad:

OMG!! I'm sure I don't have to say any of this to you guys, but HELLO, it's a puppy, you have to WATCH IT!! It doesn't just come trained, you have train it!!! And get it a damn collar with tags on it, so next time you aren't watching it, whoever finds it can bring it home. DUMB ASS!!!!

What really ticks me off is that at the other side of their house, a steep, wooded bank without any fencing goes down to a busy four-lane highway!! The dogs could have easily turned right instead of left when they left the yard and ended up on that highway.

Some people just shouldn't be allowed to have animals.

That is ridiculous. It reminds me of when I went white water rafting over the summer - we were on a winding 4-lane highway going through the Rockies. Someone let their little puppy run out into the road and I still don't know how there wasn't an accident. The 18-wheeler in front of us screeched to a stop (I'm surprised he didn't decide to run over the puppy, to be honest), we ended up on the opposite side of the road facing the cars on the other side who had slammed on their brakes, other cars went off the road completely - meanwhile the dumbass puppy-owner was standing on the side of the road drinking coffee and watching while the puppy cavorted all over the road! Then once all 10 or so cars were stopped she started calling to it, but still didn't go into the road to get it. WTF?

People are idiots, and you are right that some of them shouldn't be allowed to own animals. I can't believe that guy would say "he's a puppy, he doesn't listen" - what kind of excuse is that???

That is so frustrating! (But how awesome of you to stop!)
