Bad move to tie your dog up to a post or tree while you shop or grab a coffee. Every day dogs are stolen from this situation and especially if you have a purebred dog that could fetch (no pun) over $500, you’re asking for trouble if you leave your dog on the street unattended.

Dogs also get stolen to be sold as bait in dog fighting. Very unwise thing to leave your dog unattended like this. Unwise, unthinking, unconscionable.

I’m not a dog owner but I’d say it’s probably safe to leave your dog tied up like that. But the reason I post is I chuckled to myself this afternoon when I saw the SAME dog (I’m pretty sure) tied up down the block near the Heights Casino!

I am a dog owner. I would never leave my pet tied in front of a store. I also would not leave my bicycle unlocked or my briefcase on the sidewalk in front of a store. what are people thinking?

Who designed this locking system, David Blaine? The poor dog is trussed up like Hannibel the Cannibel, for God’s sake! And is that a cute touch or what to have the lock in the shape of a hydrant!?!?! IMHO, if you accept the responsibility of keeping a dog as a pet, you should also accept the fact that walking them is an integral part of their lives and not just a side-function of yours. Thats why I’m not a dog owner…too immature for my own good.
