A dog is an animal. It has no moral responsibility. If a dog does something wrong the fault lies with the person in charge who failed to control it. A professional dog walker should be aware of traffic and anticipate how the dog might react.
- jasonbarrah 8y ago"Professional" dog walker. I was thinking about this the other day while my Lyft driver took two wrong turns while extolling the virtues of socialism. Professional drivers used to be professional drivers. 'Professional' in the gig economy just means they have a smart phone and someones social security number.
