Be a responsible pet parent! “it doesn’t bite” is NOT foolproof.
Dog owners come in various shades, forms and sizes - especially when it comes to their reactions when their furry companions cause harm to others.
Some take all necessary precautions to prevent situations like this, while others exhibit an alarming disregard, notwithstanding the consequences.
The case in point revolved around an aggrieved Quora user - likely a victim of a dog gone rogue. They vented their frustration, questioning the selfishness and lack of consideration of many dog owners who claimed their pets were harmless and failed to leash them.
The crux of their argument was the insistence that their supposedly loyal canines would never bite, even when evidence suggested otherwise.
Adding fuel to the fire, these owners often forgo leashes, which, in certain situations, is not just a matter of choice but a legal obligation.
Dog owners offered diverse perspectives on this issue. Some defended their right to keep dogs off-leash and even went as far as paralleling it to parents who allowed their chaotic children to disrupt public spaces - why were the children not leashed then?
Another user openly acknowledged their dog's aggressive tendencies. They stated how they responsibly kept their pet leashed and muzzled, emphasizing the importance of being accountable for their pet's actions.
The overarching sentiment was that the majority of dog owners were so captivated by the cuteness of their pets that they occasionally turned a blind eye to their ferocious instincts - they were too close to the problem to see it clearly.

This Quora discussion sheds light on the nuanced world of dog ownership, with individuals exhibiting a wide range of behaviors and beliefs.
Yes, responsible owners who diligently ensure the safety of their pets and others do exist - but others tend to play it fast and loose with their furry friends (yikes!).
Ultimately, the debate underscores the importance of balancing our love for our canine companions with the safety and well-being of those around us.
