This morning on my way to work there was a yellow lab in the middle of the road on a busy road. Someone before me almost hit the dog, I slowed way down but the dog dashed right back into the road, I laid on the horn & still almost hit him. He kept running back & forth in the road. So I pulled over to try to help him. As I did so he was almost hit 2 more times. I finally got a hold of the happy but nervous dog. Must be the people in the house heard me lay on the horn as they came out of the house. Come to find out it was their dog. They have an electronic fence, the dog bolted out & was too afraid to come back into his yard in fear he'd get shocked again. Which explains why he was frantically running back & forth in the road in front of his home.
I hate those electronic fences, for this & many other reasons. This could of been a tragedy.
