I don’t like rules any more than you do. Yeah, I break ’em when I can, when I’m sure they don’t have negative impacts on others. I know my dog loves to run loose, but I take her to dog parks for this. There’s one just kitty corner to the Common, where Cogswell and Rainnie collide. That’s why it bothers me when I’m walking my leashed dog across the Common, and she is harassed by loose dogs. Some are aggressive. Now I tend to think conflicts between dog owners have to do with people and not dogs, so I’m going to ask nicely, can you please keep your dog leashed on the Common? Take them to a dog park to run around loose. Or run them leashed and get yourself some exercise, too. I really don’t want to see my dog attacked again by loose dogs on the commons, and it’s not the dogs’ fault. So it’s up to you. -Dog Walker

So is your dog a service dog, or is that just one of the rules you break?
Kick them when they get close! Have rolled up newpapers ready and a few water balloons! Now Get ready for Commons Wars: Dogs of Service! OR since no authority figure enforces any sorts of laws or rules whatsoever on the commons as far as i’ve ever been able to see, take the bitch somewhere else, the old man says point pleasant’s pretty good for leashed K-9’s try that.
why are you bitching here and not to city council? i don’t think any dogs should be tearing around loose in a place like the commons.
Pepper spray the owner, they hit them with a newspaper and yell NO.
