Don't even get me started on people letting their dogs roam without leashes - especially in the city! It REALLY irritates me and can endanger other animals as WELL as the dog itself. Check this out.

Okay..now I am weepy! Those are both terribly sad stories. Miss Le Poo is always leashed. Too afraid of cars and squirrels.
Funny you should mention, because this story just came across the newswire: Supermodel Claudia Schiffer is in the doghouse after her two large pooches caused trouble near her mansion northeast of London. (Schiffer lives in Coldham Hall, a 16th-century mansion, with her husband, film producer Matthew Vaughn.) Police say neighbours around the estate have complained that the dogs run wild and one bit a Jack Russell terrier in December. Police have spoken with Schiffer about controlling the animals, but they say it's "not a criminal matter at this stage." (ed. - And as we know from the story you linked here, it doesn't necessarily doesn't become a criminal matter even if a dog is killed.)
Note: i haven't read the linked story yet Yeah...my poor Bandy (euh...90lbs? Bouvier des Flandres..big black dog) got hit by a car on a snowy saturday morning. It was a very quiet morning after a big snowfall and my dad and my sister were out shoveling. Bandy had been staying real quiet and docile, and there had been barely 3 cars in 2 hours. Then a cat appear across the street and she went tearing after it. Of course, bounding out from behind a big snowpile, it was impossible for the car to stop in time - especially on the snowy street. Anyways, only her backleg got caught, which was put in a cast for a month or two (note: winter is a good time for a big active dog to have a cast bc there is less temptation to run than in the summer). She was about 9 at the time, and she healed well. (though around 12 that leg started to get stiff and give her a bit more trouble.)
Anyways...that's why we have dog parks. a place to run free and safe for dogs and owners alike.
I miss my dog...(died at Christmas2004 after 15 great years of adventure )
