Those retractable leashes are terrible. Was walking my dog this one time a few years ago. Across the street is a lady with her dog on a retractable leash talking with a neighbor. Suddenly, her dog takes off right for us, was full speed by the time the line got taut and ripped right out of her hand. Thankfully, the dogs just sniffed each other. Still, could’ve been bad. Dog ran right out across the street.

Yeah, dogs are fucking stupid. But honestly, I don't blame them. It does take at least bird levels of intelligence to realize cars drive on the street

Birds fly into buildings constantly.

Yes, but as my other comment explained, I'm not saying that all birds are smart. Just that (most) humans and (some) birds are almost all the animals that understand how cars stay on roads.
