The people that live across the street from me have a beagle named Bella. This dog gets out at least once every two weeks.
Right now it's pitch black outside, raining, and the traffic is heavy. So of course, just as I come outside to walk Abby, I see Bella running around. Now you'd think that when someone's dog gets out they'd want to go chase after it and try to lure it back home... not Bella's owners. Instead they stand on their screened porch and WATCH the dog weave through traffic whilst *I* try to get her to come to me. I never really chase her, I just bend down near her and call her name, act real happy etc. I've caught her once before.
And here's the kicker. These people stand out on their porch WITH THEIR CHILDREN, who are both under the age of 5. The little kids stand there and call Bella's name. What happens if Bella gets hit right in front of the children, which is a good possibility? Do these people even think?
I'm so frustrated. This poor little dog. I chased her around for awhile but I'm so afraid I'm going to accidently chase her into the road or see her get hit. :(
