I thought I'd share a random, quite worrying, thing I saw this week...
I was over a small park with one of my dogs, who I walk on a long line, when we heard 'squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak', my dog obviously went on high alert. I looked around and there was a very young, small child(she looked like she had literally just learnt to walk) wobbling across the green, squeaking!! The mother was a little way away looking at her phone... The squeak was in the little ones shoes, so every time she stepped, she squeaked. A lab turned up, heard the squeaking, looked alerted, then ran over to the baby, thankfully as the baby had stopped walking, so did the squeak, so the lab just looked confused...
I was watching from a distance, quite horrified, but neither the mother or even the dog owner seemed too worried,(the lab was very good to be fair but others may not have such great impulse control!)
I get squeaky shoes are fun but where dogs walk, is it not just an accident waiting to happen??
