Nik & Ned from Lara van Raay on Vimeo.
This is a very nice video story about a man and his dog, but it's also about a very, very questionable decision; to run a dog loose in urban traffic.
In the video, Nik says "It's always me that fails, never the dog," but of course, there's a third option and we almost see it in this video; a failure of a not-too-observant driver. And, to be fair, what driver is looking for loose dog in the middle of urban traffic? No one!
And does it help that the dog is both low to the ground and asphalt-colored?
And did I mention that running a dog loose in the street is illegal? True!
I have driven both bicycles and motorcycles in urban traffic, and I know cars often do not see either one, and that problem has only gotten worse now that we are in the era of cell phones and text messaging.
So far, Nik and Ned seem to have made it through life, but this is a "one and done" situation as far as vehicle impacy is concerned, and the dog is not a responsible decision maker. Is Nik?
