What's the price of dog owners who overestimate the control they have over their dogs? In my case, maybe hundreds of dollars.
Yesterday, a 20-something man who doesn't live on our street "walked" his off-leash German shepherd through the neighbourhood.
Unfortunately for us, my teen son was coming home from a walk with our Wheaten terrier when the free-running German shepherd was coming down the street, far away from its owner.
Usually dog-to-dog confrontations are just a lot of barking, but in this case the shepherd managed to bite our Wheaten on her underbelly near her groin.
Eventually, the owner caught up with his dog and controlled it. He was confronted by a neighbour working in her yard. The response from the shepherd owner was laced with profanity.
If I ever see this dog in the neighbourhood, further discussion awaits.
Meanwhile, I hope he now knows enough to keep it on a leash.
