Sometimes nothing can prevent a dog becoming a road accident statistic.
Today I hopped over the road to a neighbour for five minutes. A visitor arrived a my home. My son let her in and in the process the door to the conservatory opened (from the draught that was created) and past the conservatory is the laundry and past that is the garage - which was left open. So Taylor took the opportunity to whip through various openings and used his scent abilities to locate me. That meant going across a street and then a busy road with its tight corners. He arrived safely to where i was but it could have been different. Taylor would not have gone anywhere if either me or my wife were at home.
Taylor often goes off leash in 'safe' streets and he follows the amusing practice of coming to a dead halt waiting for my saying GO before crossing streets, driveways etc. Soemtimes he stops up to 100 yards from where we have to cross.
