i live in a big town where the roads are ALWAYS busy and the drivers arent exactly careful, i see lots of dogs off the lead next to the road, far too many times. and sadly have also witnessed a dog being run over due to no lead, luckily not one of my own but it was a hirrible thing to watch as we were in the car that had to swerve to miss him, sadly someone else couldnt swerve. i would never ever ever consider it, dont get me wrong my little ones dont ever really go on leads but near busy roads they get picked up, and my bigger ones well lets just say it hasnt ever happened and never will i mi
