As a dog owner myself, I
hate people who are irresponsible with their pets. Whenever I'm walking my dog, I assume everyone I meet on the sidewalk has a phobia of animals and pull her leash in tight instead of letting her run up to people and "be friendly". If people want to pet my dog, they can ask me if it's ok and then approach her, but I'll never let her jump up on strangers who may or may not appreciate her affections. I wish more dog owners would do the same.
I can't even imagine leaving my dog tied up outside of a store without supervision. That seems like the height of irresponsible pet ownership to me.
