I always see comments like these online, but they seem kind of absurd to me, coming from a country where it’s not only totally common to walk dogs off-leash, but completely legal. There’s really very few incidents of dogs darting into the streets here, and actually half the ones I’ve ever seen have been dogs on a lead anyway. A well trained dog doesn’t do that.
I’m guessing you are from a country that requires a license or something to own a dog or, at minimum, treats pet ownership more seriously than the US does. Just last week I have seen 3 dead dogs on the road and maybe 2 cats.
You should never trust an animal’s training to stick 100% of the time. I wouldn’t trust a wolf raised by humans since it was a pup, nor would I trust a bobcat raised and trained by people.
Gods, please don’t do this. This a great way to have your dog run away or get blasted by a car.
