    It’s wild to me how many people do this. There’s a woman near me who walks multiple (big breed) dogs. They (combined) weigh more then she does and are strong. They’ve hurt multiple people/animals.

    I just can’t imagine wanting to own and walk double my body weight of dog. How could I possibly control that much? Even walking a dog half my weight and I just can feel how powerful they are. But three or four of them? No chance.

      It’s extremely irresponsible. A lot of dogs have a pack mentality and if one bolts the other(s) will chase too. Also the dogs will benefit from 1 on 1 time with their human companion and the human can give the dog undivided attention to correct bad behavior. That woman is playing with fire and one day a real tragedy could happen.
