True, there are very irresponsible dog owners out there, but:
- Someone opens your gate and lets your dog out
- Dog digs hole under fence and escapes yard
- Dog has good reflexes, bolts past people talking at open doorway in bid for freedom
- Someone steals your dog from the back yard (in this scenario, hopefully the AirTag isn't obvious)
- etc
- etc
- etc
Okay, that seems to make sense, but I do see a lot of dog owners that walk their dogs without a leash and it's not pleasant at all when someone comes to attack your dog. That has happened several times and it's not pleasant at all.
It's as bad as a 9 year old walking a Rottweiler and yes, even a Rottweiler has tried to attack my dog and the 9 year old girl couldn't control it etc…
I always walk my on dog on a leash and he's very well trained and doesn't even bark at other people and other dogs and I know for the fact that even if I leave him alone at home, he won't be barking. I've asked my neighbours, because I don't want my dog to bother them.
My neighbour's dog for example starts barking at 6am and finishes barking at 10pm and I don't think it's normal. Many people even don't seem to care about their dog enough to train them and to teach them socialise and it makes me sad. It's not normal when you walk peacefully a dog comes at you and starts barking. If my dog did that I'd be embarrassed so much.
To put an airtag on a dog and let it roam around freely would be an other irresponsible thing to do and I hope no one does that.
