a train track runs along the side of the path i walk my dogs on, they never go anywhere near it but i always put them back on leads if i see a train coming just not worth the risk

Had a similar thing happen last winter. I could only watch as Ossie and the 3 JRT chased a F*x across a winter wheat field towards a road. Coming down the road was a Landrover Discovery. Luckily it turned off at a junction before the dogs got to the road. Not nice.

its a shock to the system when stuff like that happens, had a few hairy moments myself, horses are high risk around dogs as well, seen a livery owners jack russel stepped on + crushed to death by a 16.2 stallion. i never let my dogs near horses since, also have memorys of another jack russel who belonged to a neighbour which had a penchant for chasing trains..... one day it caught the train.... no prizes for guessing the outcome of that, ive been lucky, havent lost any dogs myself to accidents, had a few cats ran over + my favourite cat was killed by my lurcher. dont keep cats anymore lol

f*****g hate horses ,had a nasty experience when i first started going out with the dogs about 13 years ago ,since then have always been weary of them
