I totally agree! If a dog is adopted at an older age and is untrainable as to bad behavior, i.e., chasing bikes, pedestrians, or roaming off their property, one must restrain them in their yard and/or home. Beloved dogs who are allowed to chase and roam without oversight and restraint by their owners are at risk of poisoning, injury, etc. when they act a nuisance to others in public. The dogs are not at fault, but rather their negligent owners, no matter how much they love their pets, they are doing a disservice to them and the publc when they are allowed to be loose. No excuses, no matter where in the world you live. I would hope anyone would consider this before adopting a dog.
