They run in front of moving vehicles because while they are noble of heart and soul, have no comprehension of car = danger many (not all).
Some breeds are better than others.
My sister had a tiny poodle that she could let out in the front yard potty and Sherri knew better than to even go near the street.
Give me a good old hunting dog, a Pointer............but as wonderful and sweet as they are - those that I have met NEED A
FENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! or on leash supervision.
Pointers were trained to focus on anything early man could throw in his soup pot and once they see or catch a whiff of something that can go in that
soup pot, hell or highwaters they will go for it, no thought of their safety.
I've been humiliated and flamed, but there is nothing like a Pointer - but they need to be supervised exactly like you would a two year old.
My favorite Twilight Episode is "The Hunt".
If in the after life my dogs aren't welcomed, well I ain't a coming in either.
If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you. This is the principal difference between a dog and a man. - Mark
