  1. Slips, trips and fall risks from ubiquitous dogs

    In dog-friendly Australia it seems the non-native canine is the most dominant species. They are allowed to roam the (dog-free) beaches, the national parks and (pet-friendly) workplaces, flats, cafes, restaurants etc. If not straying, then they are on long or flexible, extendable leashes stretching across hallways and footpaths.

    This trip-and-fall risk is human-unfriendly. The health, safety, and well-being of the bipedal companions is not considered. Pet dogs pose hygiene issues, potential zoonoses and allergy risks. The mental well-being of bite victims and phobia affected can trigger distress.

  3. I rate this style of bear grips. Loose enough to drop down out of the way of your hands. Flexible enough to work well for push or pull when needed. Provides some decent wrist support.
