(9,952 posts)leash on the one hand, but i think I could be ok. I do love seeing them having that freedom so it is a quandary. I have had a couple three really bad experiences with dogs off leash. But, that is a cute and fun video and made me feel good.

(38,310 posts)He spent the first years of his life on a chain, 24-7.
That's how he ended up in our animal shelter, where we found him. It's against the law here to keep a dog chained outdoors like that.
The few times he's escaped he runs far. And he's an escape artist. We had to upgrade our fences. He's been the most expensive dog I've ever had, not just paying his bail.
But mostly he's a big warm very talkative pancake eating teddy bear who digs giant craters in our backyard.
He's an old guy now who takes his meds and mostly sleeps, but I suspect he'd still run off and cause trouble if I ever left the gate unlocked. Locked, not just latched. It was just three days after my wife brought him home that he figured out the gate latch.
He's chipped, so animal control knows who his people are.
There were a few times I wanted to cut that chip out of him and deny I ever knew him.
His only redeeming grace is that he loves all humans.
All the huskies who didn't love humans were eaten.

(9,952 posts)someone allowing unleashing. I think most would not attack me, but they do go after little dogs. I love Oregon because people take leashing law seriously and I feel very safe walking my dog in the neighborhood, or anywhere here really, twice a day. I do not want ot deal with a dog fight or attack or any of it. Just keep the dogs leashed, we can all be happy.

(38,310 posts)Huskies look fun on YouTube but they are not easy dogs.
My wife brings difficult dogs home from the shelter.
It's possible I was a difficult dog as well.

(1,151 posts)I love that he's able to handle this. His dogs look so happy and well-loved.
