Nowadays, going out without bringing money etc is js as dangerous. For e.g. 1 lady was jogging in my neighborhood when a couple of guys attempted to rob her but when they found she had nothing, they stripped her n js left her there in the park!! Another lady only had RM8 in her wallet, so the robbers whacked her on the head with their crash helmets. They won't snatch the dog but they'll throw stones at it to injure it. So i can understand why melwongsj would be afraid to walk her dog alone. I also wait for my husband to walk our dog together, if he work late, no choice i js play fetch with her at our car porch till she tired from all the exercise.
So, girls, js be careful if u walk ur dog alone. It's a crazy world out there. Be safe!
