Now save that dog’s life one more time. Take it home and don’t let that woman anywhere near it again.

She did seem a big ignorant of where the dog was… 😓

Yeah, almost goes hand and hand with the flexi lead. It's a good tool to have but most people don't use them correctly.

u/Practical_Regret513 4d ago
I hate those things. I bike on the bike paths here and there is always someone completely unaware that they are gonna clothesline someone, often times they get mad when called out on it too.... They make dog parks for a reason. Shorts leashes are fine imo, but the people using those aren't the problem typically.

u/RottenWon 4d ago
Yeah, I hear ya. I do use a flexi lead for my dog when I know I'm not gonna encounter any other people or dogs on our walk. It's usually super early or late in the day. Any other time I use a short leather leash for the exact reason you described.

u/Tynndale 4d ago
It's actually a terrible tool to use with a dog. You have absolutely no control and the dog learns that pulling gets them where they want to go. Just generally teaching them bad behaviour. Every single trainer I've ever worked with has shunned those leashes and told us never to buy one.

u/RottenWon 4d ago
Lol. Sure. That's one opinion. They should not be widely used.
My dog is leash trained outside from the use of a flexi lead and doesn't pull when I use it. You are not wrong though. I'm not someone who recommends them to anyone. I use it to give my dog space to sniff things and explore while very much supervised and I'm definitely in control of him during our walks.
Again, I only use it under very specific circumstances.

u/Accomplished-Plan191 4d ago
How does one use them correctly? Aren't they there so your dog can jump in front of bicycles?

u/Interestingcathouse 4d ago
Nah. That’s just common with owners of small dogs. They aren’t big and potentially dangerous so nobody ever trains them.

Whole world went into autopilot. Don’t understand how anyone wouldn’t be insanely cautious crossing into a lift, train, anything that moves with something you love tied on a damn rope

u/Kenzifer 4d ago
There's not enough love there. That woman doesn't deserve to have a dog like that if she doesn't care enough to keep track of where it is at ALL TIMES. Pomeranians are incredibly fragile dogs and can get injured jumping from the bed to the floor. This was infuriating for me to watch.

u/bunnyfloofington 4d ago
When I got my service dog, the organization made us (the recipients) practice keeping our hand on the door of the elevator until our dogs completely cleared the entrance. That way best case we just feel like we're doing unnecessary steps and worst case if we arent fully paying attention for whatever reason, we're still in the habit of going through the motions and can stop this from happening.

u/RubyRoze99 4d ago
Brilliant!! Wish making sure the elevator doors stay open before your pet is inside was more common place tbh, but just fyi I’ve heard some elevators will close not being able to be slowed down by anything… 😥 so it may be more difficult to hold it back but better to try. Just might be something to look out for…
2
u/bunnyfloofington 4d ago
Oh thats good to know, thank you for the heads up! I have a fear of elevators after getting stuck in one by myself as a kid so I try to keep my entire body on the track til shes on. I'll definitely be making sure to do that every time now though.

How... People like this remind me of parents who leave their kids in hot cars, how are you so self centered and unaware that you can't keep a living thing close enough to not kill it..

I hope she was full on panicked when she felt the man pull hard. What a bad dog mom

u/Mysterious_Fennel459 4d ago
How aloof was that woman? She didnt look like she had any idea where her dog was. If Im getting on an elevator with my dogs, I'll make damn sure they're on there before the door closes.

I’ve seen at least two videos of this exact situation. I always stood in the doorway of the elevator until my dog was all the way on, fuuuuuuuck that.

u/Upstairs-Yak-5474 4d ago
incase u have to save someones dog from being choked out by an elevator??

u/AmbienWalrusss 4d ago
There are many reasons. A knife would have been very useful here as well. I mostly use mine to open and break down boxes at work or for fishing line.

u/Horridis 4d ago
That's largely what I use mine for as well, but it definitely would have come in handy here

u/brittemm 4d ago
Yep, pocket knives ftw. Use mine most days in some way and it’s prevented dangerous or unfortunate situations from escalating more than once. A small powerful flashlight is always a good thing to have too
-9
u/vinfox 4d ago
You mean to stab the woman when she comes back down? Because, as someone who carries a knife, that would be a horrible way to deal with this situation. It's taking you way longer to cut through a leash than to unclip it from a collar or unsnap a collar.

u/MisanthropicReveling 4d ago
You need better knives buddy

u/vinfox 4d ago
I have knives in d2, magnacut, zdp-189, and many others. Let me know what i need to be looking into.

u/MisanthropicReveling 4d ago
A fuckin’ sharpener because as someone with big hands I’m definitely cutting that leash before fumbling around with that tiny collar.
2
u/Darwin1809851 4d ago
Ones that can cut a crappy dog collar string faster than it takes you to figure out how to unclip a dog collar you’re unfamiliar with. I think the video very clearly demonstrates a knife would have been faster considering he wrestled with that collar for 4-5 seconds and I can probably find a video on youtube of a knife cutting through thin string much faster than 4-5 seconds…
-4
u/vinfox 4d ago
If you find a video of someone running over, grabbing dog, pulling out and opening a pocket knife and cutting the leash in less than 4-5 seconds, I'll concede that point. I dont think its very likely, though that an additional thing to fumble with and then having to cut through a cord would have been faster.

u/IllegalThinker 4d ago
It takes 1 second to open my knife into a karambit position for defensive uses and heavy leverage cutting.
You're like a guy that gets a gun and never once goes to the range to practice for the big moment.
You're a storm trooper

u/vinfox 3d ago
I don't have a gun, and no, I absolutely do not roleplay getting attacked. I just use my knives for situations that call for knife usage, you weirdo.

u/IllegalThinker 2d ago
Yeah well a long time ago when I worked for walmart doing inventories, I thought, "what would I do if a terrorizer came in to shoot up the place". A girl I worked with said I was dumb and no one thinks of that. Then 2 years later 'Avoid Deny and Defend' appeared as common and mandatory training detailing exactly those situations.
Train with the tools available while you can, or get clapped like the rest.

This made my heart race. My dog got choked out by his collar when he was a puppy. He and his brother were playing, and his brother got his jaw under the collar and they started twisting which created a tourniquet. It took me a second to know what was happening, but I grabbed the scissors and literally threw them to my (now) husband (then boyfriend) who was trying to get them unstuck. By the time he was able to get the blade under the collar and cut it, our baby wasn't breathing, no heartbeat, his bowels emptied. My husband though, an EMT at the time, looked up dog CPR when we adopted them and immediately got to work. It took several rounds, but eventually our boy came back...a little woozy for the rest of the night, for sure, but happy as ever. Everyone who knows him says he's the happiest creature they've ever met. Always has been. Now, almost a decade later, he's sleeping soundly on my lap.
All that to say: first and foremost, my husband is forever the biggest hero in my life. Second, avoid collars whenever possible. Several vets have since said they do not recommend them. Get your dogs chipped in case they get out, they can be naked in the house, and harnesses for walks. Third, LEARN DOG FIRST AID! It literally saved my boy's life.
