Reply #10: The road is safe and the dogs do the right thing. [View All]

I have driven up in a friends car before. They were out by the road and they took off to the sides of the road and scattered. The road is about 1 1/4 lanes wide and only a fool would drive much over 25-30mph. My house is 200 yards off the road and that where they hang out unless they go hunting or swimming in the pond. I feel very safe letting them run. The risk is minimal and I would imagine gives the dog a better life. I am in the rural south and its a common practice to allow small hounds run free.


BTW- the question of whom owns whom is still in doubt. I am not a dog "owner" but rather a companion and caretaker.
