The first thing that I want to state before I go on with my complain is the fact that I neither hate dogs nor am I against having them as pets. It's undeniable that dogs and humans have been best friends for long and so it's amazing to see what close bonds are developed between some owners and their pets. However, what owners easily forget is that they have an animal, which implies they are responsible for their proper care, that is not only food and water but also shelter, safety, regular veterinary care, exercise and so on.
Why am I complaining then? Above all because I'm fed up with the owners' irresponsibility about their pets. A valid-license and a rabies and ID tag doesn't mean that you can let the dog roam freely everywhere. Once it is your property, the dog must be on leash, because they can scare children and other adults who are unable to tell if the dog is friendly or aggressive. Besides, walking your dog in public might requiere a cage-type muzzle depending on the animal's breed.
Finally, what makes matters worse is having to put up with dog mess anywhere. Don't owners realize how disgusting it is to step in a dog poo -pardon me- or smell it or just see it clearly in the path? Why don't they pick it up and dispose it properly?
The majority of readers will agree with me that perhaps not only the animals should be trained but the owners should also be taught to take rsponsibility for the animal they have chosen to have.
