OTOH, free dog. And you'd probably give it a better life than the person that tied it there.

[–] HappycamperNZ 46 points 8 months ago

Yup - free pupper.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 8 months ago

NTA. Your bike, your rules.

Is this Toronto? This looks a lot like Toronto. If you're from Toronto you should know that there is a city by-law that states if a cute dog is tied to your bike and you take a picture of it and submit it to Lemmy that you then legally get to keep the dog. Just FYI.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 8 months ago (3 children)

Sees a street that could be literally anywhere

Should be Canada, Toronto alright.

The fuck mate xD

[–] [email protected] 53 points 8 months ago (3 children)

To be fair to OP, that combination of red bricks between the curb and sidewalk, the specific type of bike loop, and the streetcar tracks with slabs around them are all over Toronto, but I haven't see them all together in other cities I've been to.

Not sure if you are suggesting op gets a dog free of cost or that they should set the dog free, but I think both options are acceptable.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 8 months ago (3 children)

Sure, free until you have to feed it and pay vet bills.

[–] jarfil 19 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Free pet for a day, free roast for the next... /s

Just borrow it for the day, then drop it off at the animal shelter for the owner to go get. Whatever time they thought they were going to save by tying it to your bike, they'll lose having to go in to the shelter. If they don't go for it, then somebody who actually wants the dog can get it.

What is more infuriating is the dog's leash doesn't look like it even has enough length for the dog to lie down.

[–] mystic 38 points 8 months ago (2 children)

poor dog is also bearing scorching heat of sun

[–] CADmonkey 21 points 8 months ago

On pavement.

Yeah that is a ridiculously short piece of leash for the dog

[–] [email protected] 15 points 8 months ago

I mean, it's right next to the road, so the idea is probably to keep the dog from walking into traffic.

But that's a bit of short minded as they introduce the heat of the pavement, inability for the dog to lay down and control their temperature while also blocking someone elses bike. And this is all added onto the fact that you really shouldn't tie your dog to stuff and leave them for a while anywhere in fairly populated areas.

The dog owner seriously sucks.

[–] NOT_RICK 80 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Tied so tight, poor thing!

[–] nogooduser 17 points 8 months ago

Yeah. It does look too tight for the poor thing to sit or lie comfortably.

[–] [email protected] 49 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Looks like you just met your new room mate and best friend.

[–] [email protected] 45 points 8 months ago (14 children)

I don't understand people that tie up their dogs like this. They're just asking for the dog to be taken. And I don't know about you, but I assume people who steal dogs don't steal them to re-home them. So why do people do this? Don't you love your dog? Wouldn't you want to prevent this entirely preventable situation if you love them? Of course, this particular photo has a whole other element of absent mindedness, so I guess they're just plain stupid ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[–] FuglyDuck 40 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

A lot of times, the owner just got told to not bring the dog into wherever they were going.

Rather than coming back, they see no problem Tying up the dog.

Call animal control. crappy dog owners need a wake up call. (Especially in this case. That dog looks close to strangling itself,)

The worst I’ve seen was people going to a baseball game. I was working security for an event lot, they showed up an hour before the game, which probably ran 3 hours or so, and they were a couple hours later coming back.

Sure, they cracked the window! But it was high-nineties with high humidity. And the dogs were crates in the back and covered with heavy blankets. It took some convincing for them to get permission to open it up (the measurable interior was just below the threshold, but with the blankets… well the temp in the crate was 110F.)

Sweetest puppies you’ve ever met, got to sit with them while animal control filed out the paper work.

When they came back they were … not entirely sober and pissed enough the cops had to come back out. Their justification was that they wanted to go to a ball game and couldn’t leave them at home because separation anxiety…

[–] dojan 31 points 8 months ago

Absentmindedness is a very mild way of saying that they're almost strangling the dog. The poor guy has no room to move. This dog would be coming home with me.

Wasn't this a reddit post like...a week ago? That's the mildly infuriating part, is people regurgitating content from there.

[–] [email protected] 97 points 8 months ago (6 children)

Okay? A lot of us aren't on Reddit anymore. We still like to see content.

Yup. Just chucked it into google image search.

TBH I'm not against reposting content from reddit, we need more content here... content is content. I would prefer if people were more clear that they're not the OP though!

[–] [email protected] 13 points 8 months ago

@Transcendant yeah I came in here to ask OP what they did next.

[–] Clent 53 points 8 months ago (5 children)

Those of us that left don't give a shit.

Stop straddling the fence and the problem goes away.

In Spain it's now illegal to leave your dog leashed outdoors alone.

If you tie him to someone else's bike, what is your alignment?

Congrats on your new doggo!

[–] Serpardum 14 points 8 months ago

Cool! You own a dog now!

[–] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago

When life gives you especially cute doggos, you keep them good floofers. That dogs looking at you, asking with their eyes "you're seeing this right? This is all the time for me. If I take a nap I will dies."

So much stress in that poor adorable face.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago

Guess you got a new dog, OP.
