We have a brand new puppy that my daughter loves... We also love walking around the neighborhood and around the ponds.. I am concerned that people walk their dogs w/o leashes.. Yes, I know that these dogs may be friendly and they may be well trained.. but our puppy has been attacked twice and now my daughter is afraid to walk the dog anywhere!!!! I know we don't have a leash law here, but if you don't know exactly how your dog is going to react around other dogs..WONT you PLEASE put a leash on him/her.. It may save you $$ in the long run, because I refuse to pay for another vet bill from an attack on our dog.. WHO IS ALWAYS ON A LEASH.. THANKS FOR CARING....
