Now, please do correct me if I am wrong. But I think the law used to be dogs 20kg or more had to be on a lead in Spain. Then I heard that the law changed and all dogs have to be on leads. You can be fined pretty heavily.
Maybe its just because I am more aware of it, but it seems to me there are more and more dogs loose, and they seem to be getting bigger and bigger.
We often walk, run, or bike ride along the paseo, and sometimes with our own dog. I guess being on all sides of the fence, even though our little dog seriously cant hurt anyone, he could cause a serious accident running out in front of bikes. This really is annoying when you are bike riding, as I experienced myself the other day.
Then if you are running, dogs have a thing about people running, so often they start running towards you. Personally, having been bitten pretty badly in my life, not once but twice, one time by my own dog, I am nervous. I know how strong dogs are. I know how quickly dogs can turn.
When we are just strolling with our own little dog, often my little girl holds the lead. Its pretty scary when these dogs come running up and the owners aren´t even in sight. Often they start to play fight which then can become quite scary for my little girl who just wants to protect her dog. We teach her to always stay away and she has to allow the dogs to get on with it...but actually, why should I? Why are these dogs loose?
This morning, I'm walking minding my own business and 2 huge Alsatians are running towards me, no lead. The other day there were 2 Rottweilers. Now, I'm not saying these dogs are bad dogs just because they are big as I know little dogs are just as bad. But I think its completely unfair of the owners to do this. Constantly bikes have to slam their breaks on. Constantly kids are screaming as dogs are running up to them.
Please have some consideration. The police are around alot more and you will get a heavy fine.
