In the heat,be considerate of dogs

Wednesday evening while I was out walking along the bike path, a bicyclist passed by me with a dog tied to the handlebars. The dog was forced to run to keep up with the bicycle.

I wonder how the cyclist would like to be tied to a bicycle and forced to run in this heat and humidity. Dogs mind the heat just as much, if not more, than we do.

Let’s please be considerate of our four-footed friends.
