Panther said earlier that it was a furniture collection so yes, they would have had to leave the door unlocked.
The binmen should have closed the door behind them but didn't, which is bad manners but not against the law as far as I am aware.
Even if the binmen had closed the gate behind them the dog could still have escaped in this scenario if it had darted out past the binmen as soon as they opened the gate.
I can't see how the dog getting out could possibly be the fault of the binmen.
I am not accusing Jae of bad ownership at all. I just think he made a mistake in this instance. The dog should not have been unsecured in the yard when a collection was due.
