Redditor Gets Bashed Online For Accidentally Dropping Aggressive Dog's Leash Which Made It Run After Elderly Woman Walking Her Dogs

Regardless of your age or identity, losing a furry friend is heartbreaking. You greatly reduce the likelihood that your dog will wander off and become lost if you always keep them on a leash, with the exception of enclosed areas like your backyard or a designated dog park.

Even if you believe your dog is not prone to running away, it is possible for it to occur suddenly, such as when a dog is startled by an unusually loud noise or something is pursuing it. Therefore, it is safer to keep your dog on a leash than to take the chance of losing them.

Also, dogs are less protected from dangers outside when they are off-leash. When dogs are off leashes, they are much more likely to be hit by cars or to cause accidents when drivers swerve to avoid them.

The majority of these catastrophes can be avoided by using appropriate, humane constraints like leashes.

Another danger comes from other dogs: if your dog is unrestrained, they may approach another dog and accidentally start a fight. Meet redditor u/IdkHowToThinkOfAName, who has two small male dogs, but like most small dogs, they are aggressive towards other dogs and strangers.
