The problem is that loose dogs are a growing problem. There are more dogs and more people have pets than ever before. We have leash laws, but many people ignore them or they don't adequately secure their dogs (of all breeds). I don't swim in shark-infested waters and I don't want to fear stepping out my front door.
Yesterday a neighbor's large American bull dog and lab were running loose in the neighborhood. Now I am scared again to walk my boys together because an encounter with these dogs would be very bad.
I don't know what the answer is, but something needs to be done to make our streets safe.
