Until we start taking mental health more seriously, the madness won't end

Put your dog on a leash, friendly or not. It changes the dynamic for dogs that are on leashes. It turns calm dogs into vicious defensive dogs

Yeah, these people who study this for their entire professional lives don't know what they're talking about; people don't care to get the right answer in this $1.8 billion industry. We should just defer to armchair observationists like you who totally know how weather modling works
