There have been several occasions when I stepped onto my porch, only to be greeted by dogs who apparently have gotten off of their leashes. I am afraid of dogs and find it very disturbing to be held hostage in my home, especially when I am on my way to work, by someones lack of responsibility to keep their pets on a leash. This needs to stop IMMEDIATELY or else I will be forced to take matters into my own hands and it wont be nice. Please secure your pets for the safety of others.
