[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have a large off-leash dog park about 3 blocks away (known as "The Dog Park" around Kalorama Triangle), but it somehow hasn't magically made dog owners good neighbors on the surrounding city blocks. It's clearly not enough to unleash your animal in the grassy area. You also need to walk through the neighborhood without the leash, and leave your beast's crap everywhere along the way. Sure, some owners use leashes, and some owners do scoop. But simply having the major amenity available in the neighborhood has not inspired enough good behavior among dog owners to alleviate the inconvenience/danger/pervasive filth they cause to the neighborhood as a whole. What do they "deserve," again, and do they deserve it more than I deserve to not have to clean crap off my kids' shoes at least weekly?[/quote] Welcome to every city in the US and Europe. Move to Asia where there are not so many dogs.[/quote]
