People naturally assume that their precious "Fifi" who is loving with them won't bite a stranger so they let them roam freely.

My wife received 5 stitches in an attack from a dog whose owner had assured us "won't bite". I would hate to think what would have happened if a neighbor hadn't come to her rescue. It later attacked 3 more people before it was put down. People, dogs are wolves, once removed with strong pack and territorial instincts which will attack strangers under the right (or wrong) circumstances.

Be responsible. Obey the lease law. There are too many of us living too closely to each other to do otherwise and some dogs are time bombs waiting to go off.

For the record I have owned dogs all of my life.

what's even worse are the yo bro crack dealers with their pit bulls dangling from their wrists. take notice as white meat approaches that the leash seems to have been slackened as you near...

Thanks, Cynthia. I walk the greenway with my kids on a pretty regular basis, and see this sort of thing all the time.

Dog owners- I have a dog too, and love it dearly, but please be aware that your unleashed dog will be killed if it comes close to my 6 month old son.
