This is AWESOME!
I've seen lots of labs who seem to like to carry their own leashes (or frisbees) in their mouths. I guess it's just part of that retrieving instinct.
I've seen a number of dogs that will do this ... most (all?) of them labs. Wonder if it's something about the breed?
My girlfriend lets me do that sometimes when we go out.
smart dog!
I think being on a leash implies that there is a dog at one end and a human at the other. As to which one is leading, that depends.
Goldens and Labs do it almost instinctively. My Golden almost has a fit if you drop her leash on the ground. She will quickly pick it back up and look at me like I'm an idiot for dropping it on the ground. But, I don't think it would get around many leash laws.
My bulldog always carries her own leash when we go out
Not just labs
Our Golden not only carried her own leash she walked our other dog as well.
Labs are great! Mine used to pick up pine cones for me...I'd throw his ball towards the trees, and he would always come back with the ball and 1 or 2 pine cones. Then I'd just throw them in the bag, and toss the ball again. Since I had my 2 retrievers, I haven't gotten my newspaper in about 15 yrs, just open the door for him.
This is news? Ever since leash laws started, dogs have been "on leash" in this manner. 10 years ago, my dog was walked like this and I carried leash-law ordinance in my pocket to read aloud to anyone that complained....including the dog police.
My mom's chihuahua used to do this, too.
I love this.
Fido stickin' it to the man.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!
Did Bo go missing again?
My dog does this too!!!!
Pretty cute and funny!
Of course, I've always wondered if just letting the dog drag the lead counts.
I always have a dog leashed, but I wouldn't mind having her drag it some. That way I would still have a potentially better way of stopping her if necessary than just trying to tackle her.
Do any of these laws specify that someone must HOLD the lead?
This will give all those scummy pit bull and Rottenweiler owners an excuse to do the same thing.
They did some testing in Sioux City (my home town) and found the dog had a higher IQ (by 4 points) than the average resident.
"The 11-year-old Labrador retriever holds his own leash in his mouth as he walks with his owner, Brad Ralph."
This must be a very slow news day.
