When you start in about idiot owners the list of humans deserving this title is endless. This Saturday my husband was out riding his bicycle with a group, in training for a upcoming charity ride. He was going about 25 miles an hour when someone's black lab ran out in front of him. The dog walked away from the collision. My husband has terrible road rash, a smashed watch, a cracked helmet that saved him cracking his head, and a bike that is literally broken in half. The other riders where tending my husband and watched the dog run to a near by house, a man came out and took off the dogs collar, then said it was a stray. When the sheriff arrived a kid was standing in the yard petting the dog, the sheriff asked him was it his dog, kid said yes, then where do you live, kid said right here. The man then came out and admitted he owned the dog. We spent hours in the emergency room, and thankfully besides a really wicked case of road rash my husband is not seriously hurt. It just irks me to no end that people have so little regard for their dogs, and the people who come in contact with them, that they let them run wild.
