I don't know about those things.

We had a sad local story recently. A local man stole someone's dog from their yard, hooked it to a leash on a bicycle and dragged it down a major four lane road. I don't know if the man was mentally not all there or if he was just cruel. Fortunately someone stopped the cyclist and called the police. The dog survived and was reunited with it's owner.

My dog seems tends to just run along side with me even though he is not allowed to. There have been a few times riding on my street working the bugs out of a bike. I'll look down and there is my dog with his tongue out, running beside the bike.
