Some are nice, some scary and some really weird.
Britain is the country where dogs of deadly breeds run in the parks freely like labrador puppies while little kids, mostly toddlers, are often kept on a leash.

When I saw my first 'leashed toddler' I couldn't but keep staring at both the kid and the proud parent.
A couple of days ago in Worcester I spotted a young man with his baby daughter on a leash: he was busy fiddling with his iPhone while the girl wanted to look at some flowers and tried to reach them. The man didn't turn his head in her direction (too busy with facebook or something) but instead pulled the leash a few times like you do with your dog when it gets too excited over some pissed bush and you want to go home as quickly as possible because of some lame TV programme like 'Dogging with Stars' or 'Top Gear'. So you pull the leash in irritation, shouting, 'Come on, Spotty, time to go home!'
Though I realise it must be because of parents being very protective of their kids, to me it looks weird and a bit barbaric
