Is this Toronto? This looks a lot like Toronto. If you’re from Toronto you should know that there is a city by-law that states if a cute dog is tied to your bike and you take a picture of it and submit it to Lemmy that you then legally get to keep the dog. Just FYI.
When a stranger ties their dog to your bike.

Sees a street that could be literally anywhere
Should be Canada, Toronto alright.
The fuck mate xD
Tavarin@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
To be fair to OP, that combination of red bricks between the curb and sidewalk, the specific type of bike loop, and the streetcar tracks with slabs around them are all over Toronto, but I haven’t see them all together in other cities I’ve been to.
Wodge@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Exactly, it’s obviously in Gwaun-Cae-Gurwen on the road next to Cwmgors RFC!
/s in case it was needed.
creditCrazy@lemmy.world 1 year ago
But what if it’s a ugly dog
MrGG@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
Honestly that’s even better. Ugly dogs need extra love. But I’m sure the by-law accounts for that. I’m no dog lawyer!
AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Legally obligated to get the dog a makeover
Obi@sopuli.xyz 1 year ago
A what?
AceQuorthon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
Free dog!
waz@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Not sure if you are suggesting op gets a dog free of cost or that they should set the dog free, but I think both options are acceptable.
Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
What is more infuriating is the dog’s leash doesn’t look like it even has enough length for the dog to lie down.
mystic@lemmy.world 1 year ago
poor dog is also bearing scorching heat of sun
CADmonkey@lemmy.world 1 year ago
On pavement.
SamboT@lemm.ee 1 year ago
When this picture was taken it was 55 degrees Fahrenheit
intensely_human@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Yeah that is a ridiculously short piece of leash for the dog
dQw4w9WgXcQ@lemm.ee 1 year ago
I mean, it’s right next to the road, so the idea is probably to keep the dog from walking into traffic.
But that’s a bit of short minded as they introduce the heat of the pavement, inability for the dog to lay down and control their temperature while also blocking someone elses bike. And this is all added onto the fact that you really shouldn’t tie your dog to stuff and leave them for a while anywhere in fairly populated areas.
The dog owner seriously sucks.

Wasn’t this a reddit post like…a week ago?
Drusas@kbin.social 1 year ago
Okay? A lot of us aren't on Reddit anymore. We still like to see content.
Transcendant@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Yup. Just chucked it into google image search.
TBH I’m not against reposting content from reddit, we need more content here… content is content. I would prefer if people were more clear that they’re not the OP though!
livus@kbin.social 1 year ago
@Transcendant yeah I came in here to ask OP what they did next.
Clent@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Those of us that left don’t give a shit.
Stop straddling the fence and the problem goes away.
naticus@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Agreed, uninstall one of them and don’t look back. I have moments I need some tech reference that I saved over the years on Reddit, but I don’t go looking for new content.
sanguinepar@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Just because it was on Reddit, doesn’t mean that OP is regurgitating it from there. Maybe they saw it somewhere else.
MummifiedClient5000@feddit.dk 1 year ago
So the title of the post should be “When a stranger ties their dog to another stranger’s bike.”
NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Tied so tight, poor thing!
nogooduser@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Yeah. It does look too tight for the poor thing to sit or lie comfortably.
BlueLineBae@midwest.social 1 year ago
I don’t understand people that tie up their dogs like this. They’re just asking for the dog to be taken. And I don’t know about you, but I assume people who steal dogs don’t steal them to re-home them. So why do people do this? Don’t you love your dog? Wouldn’t you want to prevent this entirely preventable situation if you love them? Of course, this particular photo has a whole other element of absent mindedness, so I guess they’re just plain stupid ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 1 year ago
A lot of times, the owner just got told to not bring the dog into wherever they were going.
Rather than coming back, they see no problem Tying up the dog.
Call animal control. crappy dog owners need a wake up call. (Especially in this case. That dog looks close to strangling itself,)
The worst I’ve seen was people going to a baseball game. I was working security for an event lot, they showed up an hour before the game, which probably ran 3 hours or so, and they were a couple hours later coming back.
Sure, they cracked the window! But it was high-nineties with high humidity. And the dogs were crates in the back and covered with heavy blankets. It took some convincing for them to get permission to open it up (the measurable interior was just below the threshold, but with the blankets… well the temp in the crate was 110F.)
Sweeties puppies you’ve ever met, got to sit with them while animal control filed out the paper work.
When they came back they were … not entirely sober and pissed enough the cops had to come back out. Their justification was that they wanted to go to a ball game and couldn’t leave them at home because separation anxiety…
dojan@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Absentmindedness is a very mild way of saying that they’re almost strangling the dog. The poor guy has no room to move. This dog would be coming home with me.
deegeese@sopuli.xyz 1 year ago
I used to tie my ugly mutt up in front of the corner market while I grab a few things. Never to someone’s bike of course.
I do not take such a risk with my expensive purebred.

I assume this is a joke. This is comical villain levels of evil.
Shepy@feddit.uk 1 year ago
Definitely a free doggo
Gekoloniseerd@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Who says doggo? You should shut the fuck uppgo
Shepy@feddit.uk 1 year ago
Well aren’t you just a little ray of sunshine!
KnightontheSun@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I first heard this term in Australia/NZ ten years ago or so. Seemed like a common name for canines there.
SkyeStarfall@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 year ago
What’s wrong with it? It’s just a cutesy name for a dog.
MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 1 year ago
If you tie him to someone else’s bike, what is your alignment?
DaCrazyJamez@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Congrats on your new doggo!
Serpardum@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Cool! You own a dog now!
TinyPizza@kbin.social 1 year ago
When life gives you especially cute doggos, you keep them good floofers. That dogs looking at you, asking with their eyes "you're seeing this right? This is all the time for me. If I take a nap I will dies."
So much stress in that poor adorable face.
Kolanaki@yiffit.net 1 year ago
Guess you got a new dog, OP.
A_Chilean_Cyborg@feddit.cl 1 year ago

TheSanSabaSongbird@lemdro.id 1 year ago
Well that’s awkward.

When STRIKINGdebate2 doesn’t recognize a free dog.
dangblingus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
Untie the dog from your bike. Let the dog go free. If the owner doesn’t want that to happen again, they’ll think twice next time.
Dsklnsadog@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
Awful advice. The dog doesn’t need to suffer for the stupidity of his owner.
Please avoid have life in your charge.
ReluctantMuskrat@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Letting the dog free it might run into the road and get killed. Not a good idea.
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Cool! Free dog!

ptz@dubvee.org 1 year ago
OTOH, free dog. And you’d probably give it a better life than the person that tied it there.
HappycamperNZ@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Yup - free pupper.
