There's lots of town in Hartford County where Dog wardens totally negligent and lots of dogs like pitbulls, German Shepherds and other mean dogs, like Chows run loose & attack other dogs. East Hartford is the worst! But they had on the news this Hartford Dog Warden declaring HOW safe Pitbulls were & NOT insisting they be chained or put in a fenced yard! How dangerous that is for kids, pets, & disabled adults

I have never had an aggressive GSD.
Chow's tend to be a protective 1 person dog.
Pits tend to get a bad wrap due to THUGS!
Do you really think that a Golden Retreiver, Lab or Beagle hasn't bitten?
Wake up! Voluntter at a shelter...

Why did your little dog have stitches?
Are you a chroic police department caller?

And I have never called the police department unless my life or my childs was in danger, for example being trapped in our car by a pitbull for two hours as it pulled the bumper off the car trying to get in. I could not back out without hitting the dog which I was trying to avoid. In that case, I felt some assistance was needed. So I do not call cronicly but if someones bleeding or an auto is being torn apart; then yes I feel it's o.k. to call. Maybe I should call you instead and you can handle the matter in a manner you see fit.

I'm sure there's some good cops out there, but the bad cops seem to be outnumbering the good ones!
Be careful too, if you go to the Glastonbury dog park, for there's dog owners who walk up to the dog park, with their dogs OFF a leash! And if you tell them it's not legal to do so, they'll start interrogating you, asking WHO you are!
I think we need to start writing the governor of the state, or Sen. Liebermann, about this issue!
Let's face facts, dogs can be aggressive, even small dogs. But when you got a large dog, who turns aggressive, a dog or even a human can easily be killed off quickly!
There's a true story about a young female toddler only 20 months old, who was attacked & killed in her own apartment by two of her relatives pitbulls!
So you tell me, just how SAFE it is, to let pitbulls run loose in ANY yard, with no fence, or being on any chain or leash at all??? It's NOT safe!
And there's many cities who have literally banned pitbulls, and I think they need to do the same with the state of Connecticut.
And Sammi, you think that anyone who wants to stay safe or alive, is a "problem" then you need to start reading the U.S. Constitution! This is America, not a Communist country, we still have civil rights as Americans, even if you don't agree with us!

We have volunteered at an animal shelter and NOPE, never been bitten by a Golden Retriever, a Beagle, or a Labrador. Those dogs are bred to be social creatures, for the most part.
However, I've been bitten by German Shepherds, Chows, Dobermans, and it was not a pleasant experience.
you look up which dogs have the worst bite, and you'll see it's German Shepherds, Chows, Rottweilers & Pitbulls.
Which makes sense since they are used for guard dogs, Rottweilers have the most powerful bite, as do pitbulls. They use Pitbulls to hunt wild boars too, so you tell me how "unpowerful" a bite from a Pitbull would be, if he could take down an extremely powerful Wild Boar please Sammi?
And even if your dog is not any of these breeds, but for some reason, they become aggressive, it's your responsiblity to see that they do NOT leave your yard, nor attack another dog, or person, even if they are just walking down the street on a public sidewalk.
Now someone tell me just WHY the police refuse to help out the public since it's their legal obligation to help safeguard the public, not put them at risk, by refusing to enforce a State Law, for heaven's sakes!
Someone pray about this issue please! I'm tired of reading & hearing about innocent dogs & people getting attacked by vicious dogs in this state! That's just cruel!

ProDeath is kinda correct on this one.
http://www.ecode360.com/MI1935
Article 3 sec 214-10A:
Dogs and other pets are permitted in City parks and recreational areas on leash only and under control of their owners or keepers. Dogs and other pets are prohibited on the City beaches and at the City pools.
Then also in 214-41D:
Any dog or pet taken onto a multi-use trail shall be on a leash which shall be no longer than six feet. Dog owners are required to remove the animal waste.
However, that appears to be the only two references to any leash law in Middletown (city wise at least). I'm certainly not a lawyer and there may be other state regulations, but one could argue that as long as you were not in a city park or on city owned open land it's perfectly legal.
Don't think I agree with that though. I think all dogs should be on leashes and I am an owner. I don't trust any dog I do not know and don't expect anyone to trust that mine are either. They may and are but how do you know if you are not the owner?

Also just found this too:
http://www.jud.state.ct.us/LawLib/law/dogs.htm
Roaming Dogs
The general statutes do not mandate that dogs be on leashes at all times. But (1) a dog's owner or keeper must not allow it to roam on another person's land or on a public highway, including sidewalks, if it is not under his control and (2) local governments may create leash ordinances. Violating the state roaming law is an infraction punishable
by a fine of $92 (CGS § 22-364). Additionally, the Environmental Protection Department requires that owners keep their dogs leashed in state parks.
So to my disbelief there really isn't a leash law except when it comes to state parks, city parks, and city owned open land in Middletown. See what can happen if you just do a quick google search using the correct words to search with? Isn't the internet great? Man I wish it was around when I was a little kid.
