Yes, why are some people just careless about keeping their dogs where they belong?

A few months ago I found a Jack Russel Terrier. He was a hyper but incredibly sweet boy. I called the number on the tags and left a message. I didn't hear back from them until 4:00 or so (I had found him around 9:00 in the morning) and she was glad I'd found him and went on to explain that he did that all the time - escape that is. Well, if she would WALK a energetic dog like a JRT, then perhaps he wouldn't get out so often! Anywa, she really set my blood boiling when she admitted that they KNEW he was out wandering the busy streets of our neighborhood, yet left for work anyway! GRRRR. There's NO WAY I'd leave for work if I knew my dog was out. I'd have to go in late, but make up the time by skipping lunch, staying late or going in early the next day. NO WAY would i just go into work.

Every so often I wnder about the little guy and hope he's safe and happy.
