Congrats on your new doggo!
Well that’s awkward.
cut the tie
OTOH, free dog. And you’d probably give it a better life than the person that tied it there.
NTA. Your bike, your rules.
This was my first thought!
Yup - free pupper.
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)_/¯
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.
Please tell me you’re being ironic.
please
I didn’t own both dogs at the same time, but 100% serious. What’s the problem?
You don’t see an issue in handling a dog poorly, because, as you put it, it’s an “ugly mutt” and then go ahead and tell us how much better you treat an animal because it was more expensive?
You really shouldn’t be allowed to own a dog or any animal.
removed by mod
you are a disgusting person
Why? Because I know which dog might get stolen?
Should I have denied the mutt walks because of what people might think? Or should I endanger the purebred out of some strange sense of fairness?
Without the additional context it easily sounds like you don’t give a shit what happens to some mutt.
Nobody was going to steal a grumpy arthritic mutt.
He was a good dog, but not much “curb appeal”.
Maybe if you’re a dumbass
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.)
Sweetest 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…
Guess you got a new dog, OP.
Tied so tight, poor thing!
Yeah. It does look too tight for the poor thing to sit or lie comfortably.
Mildlyinfuriating
When STRIKINGdebate2 doesn’t recognize a free dog.
In Spain it’s now illegal to leave your dog leashed outdoors alone.
So you need 2 dogs now?
Most people go for a dog and a blind man
I see…
Hmm I find it wrong to make it generally illegal. Ok, in this condition (very short leash, in the sun, on anotherones bike…) it should be. But if you do it properly, its not for too long and you also train your dog properly to begin with, I find it nessecery
Definitely a free doggo
Who says doggo? You should shut the fuck uppgo
Well aren’t you just a little ray of sunshine!
I am, just a grumpy one.
One of us! One of us!

You’ll pretty much never see that term if you avoid pet forums lol. I haven’t actually seen it used in a while so it may be falling out of favor.
deleted by creator
lol nice
I say, what a fine specimen of the canis familiaris species. I feel compelled to alleviate the hound’s itchy scalp.
deleted by creator
This will probably get downvoted, too
I first heard this term in Australia/NZ ten years ago or so. Seemed like a common name for canines there.
What’s wrong with it? It’s just a cutesy name for a dog.
I think you accurately described whats wrong with it.
Some people like to be cutesy
Looks like you just met your new room mate and best friend.
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.
But what if it’s a ugly dog
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!
Legally obligated to get the dog a makeover
A what?
Sees a street that could be literally anywhere
Should be Canada, Toronto alright.
The fuck mate xD

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Now I have.
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.
Not like I could proof you wrong soooo…I believe you?
Edit: Lemmy hivemind is as bad regarding downvotes.
You need some Geoguesser in your life. There are people who will tell you where exactly in the world this is, only from the picture.
I can’t speak to every other city of course, but the photo looks just like Queen East ion Toronto:
Not the exact spot, I’m too lazy to find that specific bike lock, but that area of street view shows all the features in OPs photo.
Exactly, it’s obviously in Gwaun-Cae-Gurwen on the road next to Cwmgors RFC!
/s in case it was needed.
Dognappers hun xx
Wasn’t this a reddit post like…a week ago? That’s the mildly infuriating part, is people regurgitating content from there.
I didn’t see it because I don’t use reddit.
Those of us that left don’t give a shit.
Stop straddling the fence and the problem goes away.
Uninstall Reddit? Ew. You’re one of those mobile users aren’t you… There’s no ‘uninstalling’ Reddit. It’s a website.
A website? Ew. You’re one of those people taking a laptop on your bathroom breaks, aren’t you… 😛
Reddit on my phone was great. Until they blocked third party apps. Apollo was cleaner, faster and better than even old.reddit. And nu reddit on the web is slow and bloated just like their first party app. Besides, why should I pull out my laptop or sit down on my PC to access Reddit or Lemmy for that matter?
No no no like with a truck and 200 pound floor
So the title of the post should be “When a stranger ties their dog to another stranger’s bike.”
Just because it was on Reddit, doesn’t mean that OP is regurgitating it from there. Maybe they saw it somewhere else.

No, but its fitting for this sub. I dont see the issue
What is this original content you speak of? Do I have to get up to make it?
There are like 0.5% as many of us over here, that means there’ll be much more interesting things happening on average in the Reddit user base. We each post much more on average, but there’s still only so much interesting stuff to post.
I am a lonely hermit with no friends, who only goes to work and home.
Does it sound like I have content to post?
Hell, I created a bit of “content” last night at karaoke, but I don’t know who the people that were recording me were, so I don’t even know where those videos are.
You described the average Redditor so… Yeah?
You take that back! I’m an ex-redditor, thank you very much.
A week old is pretty bad.
“If I didn’t see it, it’s new to me.”
Do we want Lemmy to be the platform of “week old Reddit”?
Only people using Reddit and Lemmy at the same time would even know. And why would you still be on that shithole?
Is that how long the dogs been there or the photo
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!
@Transcendant yeah I came in here to ask OP what they did next.
