My dog constantly almost gets hit by cars and traffic.
In the mornings, because there aren't many cars and (I thought) she's smart, she constantly trots in front of trucks and cars. I know I could (and I'll probably have to start to) use a leash, but she really enjoys walking without one. She's always been a smart animal, she figured out, almost right after we got her, how to nudge open the screen door with her snout. She never used to behave so stupid and carelessly. She's a 14 year old flat-coat retriever mix. She's a pretty good weight for her age, 70-75 pounds.
