A couple days ago I was sitting on my porch relaxing and enjoying the weather. As I was relaxing I heard 2 lady's walking on the other side of the street with their 2 dogs. One lady had a calm collected dog on a leash. The other dog was a boxer and he was on a leash that was retractable. As they passed on the other side of the block I noticed the boxer was excited and panting a lot due to the hot weather. But the lady had the retractable leash had it too short and she needed to let it loose a little. As they walked the lady with the boxer was getting frustrated and kept pulling the dog very hard. One of the pulls caused the boxer to yelp. She also was yelling and swearing at the dog vary loudly. I just wanted to point out that people need to treat their animals with respect. I had a dog but it had to be put down 6 years ago. Whenever we went for a walk I would bring either a water bottle and a bowl or we would go for our walks early in the morning and late at night. If you are going to bring your dog for a walk when it's really hot out take the time to bring water for your dog or make sure you find an area with shade. I also need to point out dogs will stop to sniff things. Don't be impatient with your dog. If the dog needs to smell something let them smell. It's their job. I hope to never see anyone treat their dog like this woman did. It's also great if you have a retractable leash to let it loose a bit so you don't hurt your dog. I hope that dog is ok and isn't hurt
