Despite being in a dog park - whether the dogs were leashed or not - her dog did damage to a persons purse. At the minimum she should apologize and offer to pay for the cleaning. Not to mention the back of the gent's pants ...

Now having said that - I don't understand some ppl. Last summer one of the only 2 leashfree parks in Toronto on Lake Ontario where our pups can swim. It has a beach some grass, and trees, benches, water spouts, really really nice park. The east side of the park is for regular people with no dogs, the west is for a leashfree dog park. Well, here we go, I saw two ppl sunning on the beach, they had a cooler, and food on their blanket. I figured that they a) did not have dogs with them and b) were clueless about dog behaviour.

They were set up fairly close to the water and of course the inevitable happened, we the owners mostly play fetch with our dogs, well one dog ran by their blanket and shook water off themselves and all over them. They made a face and moved back a bit. So I went over and said to them, not sure if you are new here or not but this area is for dogs off leash to run and play in the water. Just a few hundred yards east is the people without dogs beach. You can relax there and not to worry about having a dog shake water on you, or btw that food is awfully tempting laying out on your blanket for dogs.

Well I got a dirty look and said we are Not new here, we assert our rate as taxpayers to use whatever public beach we want. I said oh great, have a great day then, just let me call my Magic boy out of the water... hahahahah Idiots
