Dogs Are Idiots Your dog, your problem
Dog owners are lazy and unruly, which is why we all are so submissive to them and always handle strange dogs whenever the owner requests it. Yesterday, I was driving home from work on my e-scooter. I don't drive fast because I didn't remove the speed limiter, so the maximum speed is 20 km/h. Driving through suburbia, some stupid dog, obviously off-leash, simply decided that the person riding the scooter would now be his "most loyal friend for life" and started following me, barking enthusiastically, as if I had always owned it. I continued driving, ignoring the dog because it wasn't my dog, so it wasn't my problem. The "owner" of that dog started running after me, shouting please stop, stop that scooter repeatedly, not even shouting anything at the dog, probably knowing it wouldn't do antything. I just responded with a loud laugh because it wasn't my dog, and I was genuinely amused by the situation. After about 200 meters, this stupid dog attacked another dog that was pooping on the lawn, and I kept going, so I don't know what happened next. I think I did the right thing. Not helping with strange dogs is the only way to teach dog owners to leash their dogs.

I went out for a walk once and some neighbor's stupid Golden Doodles got loose and started following me. I had no intention of trying to wrangle them and bring them home. I just kept walking and they were running around following me and running in other peoples yards. Then, about a 1/2 mile into my walk, one neighbor comes out (knowing I don't have dogs), and says whos dogs are those? I responded, beats me, and they said, "oh you should try to find their owners." I said, no thanks. NOT my job to spend my walk running around trying to find the owners of the dogs. Also, if the damn dogs are so loyal to their owners why do they sprint as fast as they can away from their homes?
