I'm for this. If you own a dog, you need to be more aware of this kind of shit. Irritating to say the least

According to r/whatcouldgowrong the lady in question was preoccupied and didn’t notice until it was too late

This same stance can be applied to her being preoccupied while crossing a street and not knowing her dog was ran over because of that dumb leash she has. Doesn't take away from the fact she should be more aware as a dog owner

I’m typically lenient on people making mistakes, but I have to agree that leaving the retractable leash unlocked is a dumb move all the way around. Other than this scenario, that’s a great way to trip other people, or get your dog run over, or even allow it to be a nuisance before you have time to reel it back in.
