OTOH, free dog. And you’d probably give it a better life than the person that tied it there.
Yup - free pupper.
NTA. Your bike, your rules.
This was my first thought!
Is this Toronto? This looks a lot like Toronto. If you’re from Toronto you should know that there is a city by-law that states if a cute dog is tied to your bike and you take a picture of it and submit it to Lemmy that you then legally get to keep the dog. Just FYI.
Sees a street that could be literally anywhere
Should be Canada, Toronto alright.
The fuck mate xD
To be fair to OP, that combination of red bricks between the curb and sidewalk, the specific type of bike loop, and the streetcar tracks with slabs around them are all over Toronto, but I haven’t see them all together in other cities I’ve been to.
Not like I could proof you wrong soooo…I believe you?
Edit: Lemmy hivemind is as bad regarding downvotes.
I can’t speak to every other city of course, but the photo looks just like Queen East ion Toronto:
Not the exact spot, I’m too lazy to find that specific bike lock, but that area of street view shows all the features in OPs photo.
You need some Geoguesser in your life. There are people who will tell you where exactly in the world this is, only from the picture.

Now I have.
Exactly, it’s obviously in Gwaun-Cae-Gurwen on the road next to Cwmgors RFC!
/s in case it was needed.
But what if it’s a ugly dog
Honestly that’s even better. Ugly dogs need extra love. But I’m sure the by-law accounts for that. I’m no dog lawyer!
A what?
Legally obligated to get the dog a makeover
Free dog!
Not sure if you are suggesting op gets a dog free of cost or that they should set the dog free, but I think both options are acceptable.
Sure, free until you have to feed it and pay vet bills.
Free pet for a day, free roast for the next… /s
Don’t be cruel, you can just tie it to a bike when you’re done.
Just borrow it for the day, then drop it off at the animal shelter for the owner to go get. Whatever time they thought they were going to save by tying it to your bike, they’ll lose having to go in to the shelter. If they don’t go for it, then somebody who actually wants the dog can get it.
Damn, really? :(
What is more infuriating is the dog’s leash doesn’t look like it even has enough length for the dog to lie down.
poor dog is also bearing scorching heat of sun
On pavement.
When this picture was taken it was 55 degrees Fahrenheit
Yeah that is a ridiculously short piece of leash for the dog
I mean, it’s right next to the road, so the idea is probably to keep the dog from walking into traffic.
But that’s a bit of short minded as they introduce the heat of the pavement, inability for the dog to lay down and control their temperature while also blocking someone elses bike. And this is all added onto the fact that you really shouldn’t tie your dog to stuff and leave them for a while anywhere in fairly populated areas.
The dog owner seriously sucks.
Tied so tight, poor thing!
Yeah. It does look too tight for the poor thing to sit or lie comfortably.
Looks like you just met your new room mate and best friend.
Definitely a free doggo
Who says doggo? You should shut the fuck uppgo
Well aren’t you just a little ray of sunshine!
I am, just a grumpy one.
One of us! One of us!
I first heard this term in Australia/NZ ten years ago or so. Seemed like a common name for canines there.
deleted by creator
lol the real cringe is you two. Next you’ll complain when someone says mom instead of mother
deleted by creator
You’ll pretty much never see that term if you avoid pet forums lol. I haven’t actually seen it used in a while so it may be falling out of favor.
deleted by creator
lol nice
I say, what a fine specimen of the canis familiaris species. I feel compelled to alleviate the hound’s itchy scalp.
deleted by creator
This will probably get downvoted, too
Congrats on your new doggo!
Wasn’t this a reddit post like…a week ago? That’s the mildly infuriating part, is people regurgitating content from there.
Okay? A lot of us aren’t on Reddit anymore. We still like to see content.
deleted by creator
No, but its fitting for this sub. I dont see the issue
I am a lonely hermit with no friends, who only goes to work and home.
Does it sound like I have content to post?
Hell, I created a bit of “content” last night at karaoke, but I don’t know who the people that were recording me were, so I don’t even know where those videos are.
There are like 0.5% as many of us over here, that means there’ll be much more interesting things happening on average in the Reddit user base. We each post much more on average, but there’s still only so much interesting stuff to post.
What is this original content you speak of? Do I have to get up to make it?
A week old is pretty bad.
Is that how long the dogs been there or the photo
Yup. Just chucked it into google image search.
TBH I’m not against reposting content from reddit, we need more content here… content is content. I would prefer if people were more clear that they’re not the OP though!
@Transcendant yeah I came in here to ask OP what they did next.
Those of us that left don’t give a shit.
Stop straddling the fence and the problem goes away.
Agreed, uninstall one of them and don’t look back. I have moments I need some tech reference that I saved over the years on Reddit, but I don’t go looking for new content.
Uninstall Reddit? Ew. You’re one of those mobile users aren’t you… There’s no ‘uninstalling’ Reddit. It’s a website.
Reddit on my phone was great. Until they blocked third party apps. Apollo was cleaner, faster and better than even old.reddit. And nu reddit on the web is slow and bloated just like their first party app. Besides, why should I pull out my laptop or sit down on my PC to access Reddit or Lemmy for that matter?
A website? Ew. You’re one of those people taking a laptop on your bathroom breaks, aren’t you… 😛
No no no like with a truck and 200 pound floor
I didn’t see it because I don’t use reddit.
Just because it was on Reddit, doesn’t mean that OP is regurgitating it from there. Maybe they saw it somewhere else.
Cool! You own a dog now!
When life gives you especially cute doggos, you keep them good floofers. That dogs looking at you, asking with their eyes “you’re seeing this right? This is all the time for me. If I take a nap I will dies.”
So much stress in that poor adorable face.
deleted by creator
Well that’s awkward.
Cool! Free dog!
Dognappers hun xx
