I'm sorry you took it that I was trying to argue. I wasn't. I'm just saying that leash laws are there to protect people and their pets from dogs running loose, whether it's the friendliest pit bull or an aggressive doxie doesn't matter. When you ignore the leash laws, you are saying your pet's freedom is more important than the law and my pet's safety and I don't think that's fair. Furthermore, even though I know there are many, many friendly pit bulls, I don't want to happen upon one who isn't confined or is off leash. It would scare me to death! Maybe if I hadn't had an issue with the lab down the street, I wouldn't have responded to this post at all. I just thought you might be interested in how others in the neighborhood might feel. Obviously, you're not.
