There is a law/rule that dogs in Frick Park must be on a leash or face a fine. As often is the rule/laws no one enforces them so the said offenders believe it is either irrelevant or that they have no worries about being scofflaws. Â I want all dogs on leashes for my peace of mind and potential safety. Â My experience of having dogs rush up to me, often wet and muddy, and their owners shouting out "don't worry he/she is friendly" has become almost beyond insulting. A friend of mine's dog just attacked another dog and ripped it's neck off. I was bit by a dog as a child and of course that was a "friendly" dog also..Â
If you bring your "friendly" dog to the park extend that friendship to me and OBEY the law and put him/her on a leash.. You would not like to be either fined or worse lose the dog if he/she big someone..
I am aware of the backlash to this sentiment but the law is on my side.. Whose side are you on??
