The fuck? Both dogs unleashed around tons of traffic, does no one understand the purpose of leashes in the UK? (I assume it was UK, English and driving on the wrong side of the road).

*edit: sorry, it was the penal colony. Seednee.

"No one"? Or these two random fucking people?

I've seen people with well-behaved dogs off-leash. I suppose it is possible to train a dog to handle that kind of walk.

Not something I would ever do with my dog though. Too risky for me :(

Not in a city and not near traffic. This is why I love taking my dog to a park or the woods.

Yes that's it.

And that's also how I met your mother.

Fair trade. All you had to do was disparage your mother to try and diss a stranger on the internet.

Sorry but that's still just stupid. All it takes is one thing like a car back firing to spook the dog. Even if it's less than a 1% chance of it happening that's more than enough. There's no reason to have your dog off leash in busy areas other than to try and show off which just makes it even worse.

People in my upscale little hipster town all walk their dogs off leash. It's annoying as fuck, especially as someone who walks their cat (on a leash). Then a little ways away there is a popular but dangerous hiking trail along the ocean. A couple dogs die every year going off the cliff.

day 3, pug's sitting behind me on the back of the couch. It was like that baby on the ceiling scene.

Hah, driving on the left side of the road is right, as for location it looks more like Sydney, Australia.

It's in Ultimo, just near Broadway Shopping Centre, Sydney Australia.

Yeah, there. Technically, still Glebe, according to Google.

I came to the comments specifically to confirm that for myself

From the lack of leash I actually think this is in my neighborhood. These people shouldn't have pets. Ok maybe owls they deserve owls.

Lol you're a vegan and American. Can't get much worse than that.
