Recently my husband has turned me on to comedian Orny Adams. The other day Chris showed me this video since I've started to become more eco concious than ever (I'm not perfect but I'm trying the best that I can for the planet). That video had me rolling.
So today we're driving down Topanga Canyon Boulevard in Canoga Park and I see this dog running like crazy through Lanark Park in Canoga Park with his owners clearly standing there with leash in hand (trust me...this is related to Orny). That got me venting once again as to how owners can just let their dogs run loose in a public place when it's common knowledge that we have leash laws here. This dog looked like it was going to run onto Topanga (a very LARGE boulevard as you know) with the way it was frolicking and the owners just stood there watching him/her. Yeah I know not all officers enforce the law since they've got bigger fish to fry (like gang shootings and such) but those laws are in place for a reason: the safety of the dog and the people surrounding it (you know...people who might be afraid of the dog, people who might get bitten if the dog isn't friendly, and people who might get in a car accident while trying to avoid the dog running in the middle of the street).
Oh...and here's an interesting case scenario stated from the website:
LAW AND ORDER IN SUBURBAN LOS ANGELES
Here's a legal interpretation problem for you: If the law requires a dog to be on a leash, does the owner have to be holding on to the other end?
Jean Bessette of Van Nuys, California, was ticketed for walking his Labrador retriever, Rex, without a leash. Bessette protested that the dog was on a leash. The problem was that Bessette wasn't holding the other end of the leash - Rex was, in his mouth.
Bessette and Rex went to court, where Rex balanced dog biscuits on his nose to show how well trained he was. The pair got off with a warning.
Things like this make me scratch my head and go...huh? What is the point of having the dog on a leash when a person isn't holding it? It totally defeats the purpose of why you have your dog on a leash.
Okay now...back to my original intent of what this blog post was supposed to be about: Orny Adams and his hilarious video about this very pet peeve of mine. After the incident on the road today my husband told me about this video. And thank god he did because I kind of had a slight case of writer's block. So enjoy a laugh or too. I'm sure most of you responsible dog owners know what I'm talking about.
Love the reversed roles at the end.
