This is one of my major pet peeves. It seems like owners who do the proper dog training and care are far FAR in the minority. Most dogs I see are all over the place, yapping and biting and completely ignored. It's 4:20am and I've just spent the last 4 hours or so listening to one of my neighbors' little yappers barking his lungs out. 4 HOURS. Non-stop. And there are a lot of dogs in my neighborhood (all condos, so lots of people and dogs close by) and I get to hear people's barking dogs all. the. time. People don't think about the time and work and energy and effort and care and love that go into dog ownership. They just buy a dog and stick it in the backyard and/or their purse and think that's that. Arg!
The dogs-in-drivers-laps thing bugs me too. That has to be AT LEAST as distracting as a cell phone! (Especially since chances are, the dog hasn't been trained!)
