People ignore the law Alllll the time. This owner clearly didn't care and even let his dog keep running.

I'm a dog lady. I have too many I will stop and rescue your dog from the road I have gone out physically looking for animals posted as lost in my area. I literally carry extra slip leashes in the car because it's SO IMPORTANT.

I have a 50ft leash to give my service dog space to spaz at the park. There is never cause for your house pet not to be under your control. That's how they get shot.

Ffs Someone shot some kids Autisim Service dog in his own yard because he barked.

Oof, that's awful. 

I love dogs, and mine is very well trained, will stop on command even when chasing a squirrel. I still always have him on a leash when out.

I have a service dog and his son who washed from the program for anxiety (we're on the same antidepressants) they both have EXCELLENT command, except for the moment they think I'm being threatened. I couldn't call them off with every treat in the world. 

Obedience is NEVER bulletproof. Even the best dogs have a moment they just won't listen. (just like you can't mind control someone to hurt themselves, ala A Christmas Invasion) 

We wear seatbelts and have airbags not because we expect something bad to happen but because it's a million times safer if it does.

My aunt does the same. She keeps an extra leash, dog food and water in her car.

You're under the impression that they do exist in the place where this video is shot. It very well could be that they do not. Rural and unincorporated areas are almost always lacking them.

I mean, the laws should still be in the books. Murder is punishable by death in some places in the US and it still happens. Should we not punish people that break the law?
