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 8 months 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 8 months 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 8 months ago
But what if it’s a ugly dog
MrGG@lemmy.ca 8 months 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 8 months ago
Legally obligated to get the dog a makeover

A what?
AceQuorthon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 months ago
Free dog!
waz@lemmy.world 8 months 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 8 months 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 8 months ago
poor dog is also bearing scorching heat of sun
CADmonkey@lemmy.world 8 months ago
On pavement.
SamboT@lemm.ee 8 months ago
When this picture was taken it was 55 degrees Fahrenheit
intensely_human@lemm.ee 8 months ago
Yeah that is a ridiculously short piece of leash for the dog
dQw4w9WgXcQ@lemm.ee 8 months 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 8 months ago
Okay? A lot of us aren't on Reddit anymore. We still like to see content.
Transcendant@lemmy.world 8 months 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 8 months ago
@Transcendant yeah I came in here to ask OP what they did next.
Clent@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Those of us that left don’t give a shit.
Stop straddling the fence and the problem goes away.
naticus@lemmy.world 8 months 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 8 months 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 8 months ago
So the title of the post should be “When a stranger ties their dog to another stranger’s bike.”
NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Tied so tight, poor thing!
nogooduser@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Yeah. It does look too tight for the poor thing to sit or lie comfortably.
BlueLineBae@midwest.social 8 months 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 8 months 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 8 months 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 8 months 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 first heard this term in Australia/NZ ten years ago or so. Seemed like a common name for canines there.
SkyeStarfall@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 months ago
What’s wrong with it? It’s just a cutesy name for a dog.
MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 8 months ago
If you tie him to someone else’s bike, what is your alignment?
DaCrazyJamez@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
Congrats on your new doggo!
Serpardum@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Cool! You own a dog now!
TinyPizza@kbin.social 8 months 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 8 months ago

dangblingus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 months 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 8 months 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 8 months ago
Letting the dog free it might run into the road and get killed. Not a good idea.
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 8 months ago

OTOH, free dog. And you’d probably give it a better life than the person that tied it there.
