I related to those videos, as I have 2 Aussies and a Sheltie ... they definitely take me for a walk

But I have to admit to feeling somewhat guilty for laughing so hard at those poor people.

... a few of those women looked like they took some pretty hard falls. We've got an 80-pound fur-baby who's godawful strong! She's pulled me off my feet when I wasn't paying attention, and I'm 200 pounds!

And I think I was entitled, because I could have BEEN one of those in the vid! My 120lb dog decided an ebike was much more exciting than his new mistress (90lb me) while out on a walk, and took a hard right turn to go chase it... and down a steep park hill he dragged me. One ER trip later, with a broken knee, I was laid up and we only now go for short walks around the block for play dates with his best friend... also about his size. That pup's dogmom is about the same size I am, and only about 10 years younger. Yes, we should have known better. But maltese size dogs were never our cup of tea; what can I say? (sigh) The last huge dog I had (150 lb Leonburgher) was more like a service dog. I had high hopes this time around after losing my beloved Porter.

My 122 lb German Shepard is a dream on the leash because someone trained him as a puppy. He won't even chase a squirrel if I tell him to walk on. Now, off the leash is a different story... Squirrels beware!
