I hate walking my dogs in our neighborhood.
Where our family lives in the south, we’re among a relatively few people who understand that dogs need to be free, and they actually need to be walked. That makes for an environment in which you either can’t go far without setting off neighbors’ leashed and/or caged dogs, or encounter someone who is deathly afraid of your dog—even if he’s just a curious puppy, or a little sausage who isn’t growling at you. Sometimes I wish I lived somewhere better.
It always baffled me that people were afraid of dogs. Or, at the very least, didn’t respect them enough, because they all feed into this vicious cycle where they come out looking like mere beasts. If you don’t treat them well—as souls with physical and psychological needs—and just keep them leashed or caged, they’re going to act out their territorial instincts. That means they’re going to be fierce and fearsome, barking and biting at anyone who even barely violates the turf they’ve claimed as their own. All that, in turn, feed into people’s natural fears. (Especially if they’ve been bitten by a dog before, even though one biting incident doesn’t really say much about a dog’s nature.)
But all that is conjecture I’ve had walking the streets with my pets. No matter how close I might be, I don’t actually know the real, official reason why we humans are cruel to them. So I went around and asked the people who have a better understanding of man’s best friend.
