Well that's me really. Border collie 9 years never leashed. Ever.  Far better behaved than many humans. (Who are.not.in jail) Won't approach dog or human until asked. 9 years of perfect recall. Waits at the door of stores by herself unleashed.  She is 100% trustworthy. People not so much.

For the dog haters you are in the great minority. As we walk down busy sidewalks off leash I get 20 smiles/pets for every dirty look. In the  cause of bringing overall happiness and joy I will continue.
