Scooby the dog - hit by cyclist.

I somehow fail to see how this can be the cyclists problem, it's not like you have some 6th sense to let you know a dog i running wild when you're out riding.

WTF?? They're supposed to keep their f&cking animals under control..... Luckily for the dog, and no thanks to the feckless owner, it didn't end up with a bus tyre track across its back...

People with 3 dogs are generally nutters of one type or another, so prone to allow dogs to 'slip collars', despite all 3 being pictured with harnesses. She should have been warned/ prosecuted (Ho! Ho!) for endangering cyclists. This other 3 dog nutter below had all 3 in the front passenger compartment, but the famously deranged Blackpool TacOps Sergeant decided they 'could have been correctly restrained' because such restraining devices (for 1 dog only, of course) exist. That's apart from crossing double white lines in a dangerous position on a humped bridge, which FDBTS also decided was a NaOiL (Not an Offence in Lancashire). Nowadays, I would get straight into a complaint.

To be fair, the owner did have the dog on a lead, though whether it was fit for purpose is debatable.

I'm surprised that the cyclist(s) didn't stop - I would if I'd just hit a dog as usually the owner isn't too far behind (whereas cats deserve what they get and good luck trying to find a cat's owner).

So the dog was running out of control and somehow this is the cyclists' fault?
