Oh yes. It's one thing in a park or something but on the damn street? We had someone's terrier run across the road to check us out the night before last... luckily there weren't any cars about, but, for fuck's sake!
Ironically, Spike's recall is probably good enough that I could get away with it, myself (Squish is another matter entirely and even in the park he's on his long line) - except I'm not stupid enough to try. Even the best-trained dog in the world isn't immune to sudden squirrels and the like.
