Sending the dog back?

Pardon me but I am scared in what you are doing. In this modern times, dogs cannot be left to their own devices because they may be hit by vehicles. There are stray cats and dogs in our community and sometimes we see a dead animal on the road presumably hit by speeding vehicles which is common here. It's a nice thought to have your dog accompany you to the bus stop or to the end of the road but it's only okay with me if your dog has someone to accompany it back home.
