Scientists from the US have looked at the injuries that hospitalise people who are injured whilst out walking a dog on a lead. Serious head trauma injury makes the top three and the most at risk groups are women and the over 65s. Who would of thought dog walking was so dangerous. Should dog owning women over 65 hang up their leads for good.
Despite the risks, dog experts insist that your dog should be kept on a lead. What's going on here guys. It's all over the news. How many fabbers have been injured when out walking a dog on a lead. |

It’s down to how the dog is trained whilst on a lead. We had a Labrador and a Border Collie and neither of them bolted suddenly whilst on the lead and stayed with us regardless if there was another dog nearby |

"I'm 66 soon so fall in that category! U coming to walk my 2 for me Tom? Pheobe the lab and dexter the spaniel x"
Tom takes the risks seriously and assesses them. He would not walk them both at the same time to eliminate the risk of lead tangling but happy to take two different walks.  |

I keep control of my dog, but that doesn't stop him from looking across the road at the neighbourhood cat, not pay attention and the walk into a lamppost, Wily E Coyote style...
Stupid dog, but I wouldn't change him... |

My large dogs are kept on short leads because they’re so powerful but my medium sized dog has a 6ft leash and he’s hurt my shoulder when he’s seen a bird and bolted/pulled to go after it and then stopped short suddenly on his lead.
I was distracted by plants at the time so my own fault  |

Anyone over 65 is more susceptible to a traumatic brain injury ahdvthstvgets more likely the older you get.
The cause is irrelevant, old people who fall and bang their head are more likely to die |

A few years ago I was out walking and it turns out I'm so asily distracted by an excitable puppy that wants to play that I can fall over and end up in hospital with a broken bone in my foot |

The key word here is US (if it is a word).
They’re not like us. If you follow US statistics you wouldn’t send your children to school for fear of being shot.
Wait until UK scientists report, then decide. |

"Maybe some sort of protective headgear would be in order?
Not sure you can get a hard hat the right size for a sausage dog  "
