These dogs get out far too often. Maybe people are going to think I’m being harsh but these are dogs that live on a street off of 401. What’s with the humans in the equation?

These pups wander far and wide. They are very friendly, loving dogs. But the owners are being irresponsible because they keep getting out, and I am allowed to have this opinion. If the dogs on an electric fence, maybe they need new collars with longer prongs? Maybe their collars need batteries? Maybe they need to be trained to the electric fence properly? Maybe there’s a break in the electric fence ?

This is of course, assuming there is an electric fence because you don’t know if there is or not. It could be a regular fence. They are getting out of a property which could be completely unfenced.

There could be many reasons why they are getting out but why are their humans not keeping a better eye on them?

Whatever is going on here this is not right. And I would hate to see these dogs get hit or someone to be put through the trauma of accidentally hitting them because they’re running free when they’re not supposed to be.

What is happening is upsetting and I’m posting this because there have been so many instances recently of these dogs getting out day after day and they’re being found in all different parts of Malvern. In one case, my friend‘s daughter helped catch the dogs one of the times they were loose.

Accidents happen, I get that but this is happening far too often. Which makes you wonder is this a pattern?

All we keep seeing in our social media feeds are found dogs and dumped dogs and dumped cats and found cats. I just don’t understand what’s going on in this world in which we live. It makes me very sad.

And I’m sorry if the owners feel like they’re being singled out, but in this case, how many times do their dogs have to get out before somebody looks into the why?

May Saint Francis continue to watch over them until somebody does look at why this is happening and takes steps to correct it.
