No Dogs Allowed
- Share via
We were quite dismayed to see the picture on the top front page of the July 24 View section--a picture of Jerry Schad apparently breaking the law.
For the information of your readers, it is unlawful in San Diego County to bring a dog into a public park. Also, a dog must be leashed when not on private property.
There are good reasons for these laws. Our two small children have repeatedly been terrorized in parks by large, friendly, unleashed dogs who run over and jump up on them. There is a potential for serious injury when a child is knocked down by one of these dogs.
Another problem is the very unpleasant amount of dog excrement in our local parks.
Please, San Diegans, enjoy your parks to the full--but leave your dogs at home.
