Only in Colchester

I live in Colchester and I love my dog! So when I see a man in an electric scooter walking his dog with no leash it burns me up.. No leash, he whistles for the dog to follow (maybe husky or mix) .. The dog was 20 or more feet away from the road at my kitchen window .. If the dog did his business on my lawn, I would pick it up (since the man had a hard time moving around) but what about the dogs safety? A stray animal could claw that poor dog
Ok gets worse
A woman on a tiny dirt bike does the same thing with 2 dogs this time (I am sure 1 is the same dog) now I see the dogs running as fast as they can go down the middle of the road .. Way to fast for an everyday excerise and blowing her whistle at 8am .. Really?
Is it me? Or is this wrong?
