A dog is an animal. It has no moral responsibility. If a dog does something wrong the fault lies with the person in charge who failed to control it. A professional dog walker should be aware of traffic and anticipate how the dog might react.

Let me preface this by saying I've never paid for a Lyft or Uber in my life and probably never will.

However, what you just described sounds like a typical taxi ride as well, i.e. with a professional driver.

It still means that with black cabs in London, but it's true that the concept of a professional driver was already lacking in most places before Uber/Lyft.

"Might" react. If it reacts in the total opposite way then what? Constrain lead to 20cm, full muzzle, sedate the dog incase it's brute power is too much in a unexpected moment of madness.

That's a weird way of spelling "Use a reasonable leash length for your distance from traffic."
