Saw a dog running around with no owners.

People. Keep your **** pets near you at all times. They get lost because of that.

I spoke with the woman who owns the dog out of my own concern and she just mentioned the dog sometimes goes off to wander around but knows how to get back home.

Still, gotta be careful with letting pets roam around.

All it takes is one bite and the dog owner is on the hook. Judges have a very low tolerance for dogs, unleashed, running around loose.
"Oh, my pit bull/Rottie/Doberman/German shepherd wouldn't bite anybody!"
Famous last words.

He was growling and barking at me but just as a simple "don't get near me" message.

Poor pitbulls, they get a bad rep.

any dog can snap. in my experience little dogs are the nastiest. my old dachshund tried to bite our friend's son once. very food aggressive too.

on the other hand you could stick your hand in my pitbull's food bowl and it wont even bother him.

People always say blame the owner, and it is the owner's responsibility to warn people and keep them away from dogs who dont like strangers or who have nasty temperaments, but people also need to heed warnings from the owners. We warned the kid not to poke at our dog, but he did it anyway and almost got bit.

i had a point to this post but i think it got lost amid the brain vomit and drugged state im in (shush its my migraine medicine)

Doxies are such little brats, lol. When I had to house and pet sit for my aunt and uncle one weekend back in the fall, their dachshund - who usually runs, bounces, yaps, and is a bundle of energy - literally flopped on the couch and pouted the whole time.

To show you how much times have changed:
There is a pet store in the mall (still in business after 50 years!). Out in front was a little fenced-in pond, with a nice waterfall and everything.
The resident was a snapping turtle.
The owner did put up a sign: Warning! Keep your fingers out! He bites!
And in 1973, people had enough sense (including 5-year-old me) to keep their (and their kids') fingers out. It would've been very easy to lean over the railing, stick your hand in the turtle's face, and tempt fate. But for years, common sense prevailed, nobody ever got bit. If they ever did, it's their fault. The owner put up the sign, he gave due notice, he's covered.

Today would be a different story. People wouldn't be keeping an eye on their kids, kids would ignore the sign, Mr. Snappy would bite off a few digits, the owner would get his pants sued off, and while the kid was sitting there crying and bleeding, one of the parents would have their phone out posting the severed hand on YouTube.

Mr. Snappy still lives in a glass tank, free from any unwanted human contact, and from what I understand turtles like that can live over a hundred years.

Still it would be something, to put him back in his old terrarium, put up a warning sign, and see how long until some stupid fool gets bit. I'd give it one day.

Ah yes, just like how there's poison warnings and what have you on Tide Pods, but kids were eating them anyway, and lawmakers began pressuring Tide to make their pods "look less tasty."

I mean, those paper tacos looked bomb.

Funny, in kindergarten art clas we had scented markers (the purple/grape was my favorite) strong enough to give you a contact high, but we were smart enough not to put them on our tongues. Red/ cherry ran a close second. Still amazed we managed to draw anything at all. Half the class was spent sniffing (mercifully non-toxic) fumes.
Unfortunately for some, rubber cement would come soon enough.
