The fact that spiderwebb found his pooch safe and well is of course good news
Well yes and no.
I was over the moon that he found his dog safe and sound, and whilst being aware of the official line on not letting your dog off its lead, I wondered what other walkers thoughts were on this issue and more importantly were they bothered that some walkers occasionally let their dog run free in the hills.
Whilst not being a dog owner, I personally have no problems with well behaved dogs being let off the lead. We all know some dogs and owners are better behaved than others.
I pointed out the diferences between areas like the Lake District with it's many sheep on the Fells and the Munro's where there is substantially less to none around, and received a reply, more or less saying "what about the Grouse and Deer".
My imediate thoughts were 'What are they going to say if Wolves are reintroduced'.
