A belated response

To the lady who paused at a stop sign at Commercial Drive today long enough to shout at me, "I know it's not my place, but on a hot day like this that dog should be at home!", I would like to say the following:

That's exactly where we were going. (I did get to say that before you drove off, but I doubt you were listening.)
My dog cannot use the toilet. Wouldn't it be more cruel not to walk him?
Hypothetically speaking, what if it was really hot inside my apartment?
So you're offering us a lift home then? Mind some dog hair on your car seats?
No, it really isn't your place.

Lol, I wish you had said that. Next time make the car stop and say it loud enough for everyone around to hear.

Wow, it's a good thing that canines don't live anywhere that it's hot!

Not to mention the Arabian or Iranian wolf was the most likely progenitor of domesticated dogs.
