    Is this Toronto? This looks a lot like Toronto. If you’re from Toronto you should know that there is a city by-law that states if a cute dog is tied to your bike and you take a picture of it and submit it to Lemmy that you then legally get to keep the dog. Just FYI.

    What is more infuriating is the dog’s leash doesn’t look like it even has enough length for the dog to lie down.

    I don’t understand people that tie up their dogs like this. They’re just asking for the dog to be taken. And I don’t know about you, but I assume people who steal dogs don’t steal them to re-home them. So why do people do this? Don’t you love your dog? Wouldn’t you want to prevent this entirely preventable situation if you love them? Of course, this particular photo has a whole other element of absent mindedness, so I guess they’re just plain stupid ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      I used to tie my ugly mutt up in front of the corner market while I grab a few things. Never to someone’s bike of course.

      I do not take such a risk with my expensive purebred.

          Why? Because I know which dog might get stolen?

          Should I have denied the mutt walks because of what people might think? Or should I endanger the purebred out of some strange sense of fairness?

          I didn’t own both dogs at the same time, but 100% serious. What’s the problem?

            You don’t see an issue in handling a dog poorly, because, as you put it, it’s an “ugly mutt” and then go ahead and tell us how much better you treat an animal because it was more expensive?

            You really shouldn’t be allowed to own a dog or any animal.

        I see this all the time, don’t think it’s such a big deal also, sometimes I don’t understand social network people

      Hmm I find it wrong to make it generally illegal. Ok, in this condition (very short leash, in the sun, on anotherones bike…) it should be. But if you do it properly, its not for too long and you also train your dog properly to begin with, I find it nessecery

    When life gives you especially cute doggos, you keep them good floofers. That dogs looking at you, asking with their eyes “you’re seeing this right? This is all the time for me. If I take a nap I will dies.”

    So much stress in that poor adorable face.

    Untie the dog from your bike. Let the dog go free. If the owner doesn’t want that to happen again, they’ll think twice next time.

      Awful advice. The dog doesn’t need to suffer for the stupidity of his owner.

      Please avoid having a dog… Or a kid
