Its heart breaking what some people do to their dogs. There is a right & WRONG way to walk/run a dog. Using a car can be safe in the right areas, right amount of people (& the right people) in the car/trunk & proper tools. Also a 4 wheeler is good with 2 people & proper tools.
We had to do that for my friends dog. He broke a halti, dragged both of us down the street (we weren't walking or running, we had fallen over), also at that time there was no prong choaker. The dog HAD to get some excercize as he was getting fat & trashing the house! He even pulled the deck 2 feet from the house, bent a solid pole in the backyard & was killing the tree we tried to tie him to (he had 30+ feet of car chain). The 4wheeler was a dream come true for us. We knew he would fallow it casue we were on it as he hated to be left behind. We used the strongest retractible leash on the market & tied it to the back of the 4 wheeler. My friend drove & I had to say faster, slower, STOP & what no. NOT once did we have an accident, as we had 20 feet of leash to work with & the 4 wheeler had great stopping time. The dog lost some weight, was less restless & we were finally able to train the silly thing to sit, stay, down, paw & once the prog choakers came out, we were able to walk him, but still used the 4 wheeler to run him as he really did like it
But to drag a dog & not care or notice?!?! there is NO excuse for that! Its just plain SICK!
