City of Melrose PLUS

My daughter got bit by a dog that is 70 ibs at Gooch play ground park at melrose, ma. My wife and my son and my daughter were coming out from the car and all sudden when they were in the playground they got charged by two dogs that were not unleashed. The other Dog turned back, but the other one bit my daughter thigh, and chased my son all the way to our car. What sad is there were three grown men, and one of them his name is frank wright a 7th term alderman of the city melrose, all of them fled and run away and did not help my wife and my daughter. One guy stayed there just to be a false witness, claiming the dog was just trying to play with my children. He was a false witness. My kids could not even go outside and play in the city of Melrose, MA playground, because we have dog owners that do not take responsibility of their dogs, and have their dogs unleashed all the time around kids. Something has to change and the city of Melrose must do something about this so nothing like this would be repeated to other families. Grown men running away like kids, while a child is suffering I call it cowards. I plea for the city of Melrose to set a standardized rule at all playgrounds with dog owners. There is also a dog park in melrose, MA why cant they take their dogs there.
