.....yes this person has MANY better things to do...like......COMPLAINING!!!!!!!!!

I have seen this man & dog alot, the dog is well behaved & I have never seen the dog run into the street, yes there are leash laws but gimme a break! These two are not doing any harm. With all the drug problems in this city you have nothing better to gripe about! Wake up & voice some opinions about the hazards in the city.Open your scared mouths about the drug deals that I'm sure you see everyday.

This dog is very well trained not aggressive at all and the owner has control over him. How about complaining about something that needs to be fixed: Roads, speeding, drugs, ETC.

Yes those things are also important, but this is as well, and it is too me, and it is a HAZARD!!! To my car or someone elses, the dog, im sure the owner will be devestated, therefore HE SHOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. I know the dog is trained but its still a animal!! and yes sometimes the dog is fine but there are other times is been in the dang road. i am sharing my opinion because thats what this is about, it doesnt say "oh you have to complain about drugs, and roads etc." I see things everyday that need to be fixed, and this one day i decided to voice about the dog, i would be on here everyday complaining if i posted everything i saw wrong in this town!! so anyone who thinks im wrong well i dont give a f***!

....how about if we just have the dog euthanized??.. I'm sure this will resolve the issue.....

Fhaklh. I completely agree the dogs leash should be in the owners hand. Leash law people. Even the best trained dog has its animal moments where it doesen't want to listen. If that dog was to run in the road when there was heavy traffic and caused a major accident or even worse a fatal accident what then??? What was it the person that was driving the cars fault. NO it was the irresponsible dog owners fault. If he cared about his dog then he would be holding the leash.

...HAS ANYONE CONFRONTED THIS PERSON ABOUT THIS ISSUE?????

Wow Glenn Just yell it... Most likely not its easier to complain to everyone else instead of waking up to the guy who is by the way very friendly and asking him if he could kindly pick up the leash. He has always done it for me when i am walking my dog who is fearful of big dogs.

....sorry if I sound brash, however I support a kinder gentler way of asking the owner to be aware of the concerns of the community.... but the previous reply had a great point in stating that the dog may prove to be "unpredictable" one day & cause harm either by running in the middle of traffic or causing an unsuspectable citizen to perhaps run in fear causing "THEM" to hurt themselves.....

My neighbor has a "well behaved, well trained, under control" dog as well and sees no reason to keep it on a leash in spite of our leash laws. Hmmm.... well the dog wasn't so "well behaved...." when my son rode by to turn into our driveway on his motorcycle. The dog ran out and started chasing him and if it wasn't for the quick reflexes of my son he would have hit the dog and dropped the motorcycle.

Wow, you are all pretty ignorant. I have a dog, and I walk him off leash ALL THE TIME. Not ONCE has he decided he didn't want to listen. He ALWAYS heels no matter what. Never leaves my side. If i stop moving, he sits by my side. Stop complaining about pointless issues.

....the law is the law....your dog SHOULD be on a leash.... unless you think you're ABOVE the law.... and they call ANIMALS dumb.....geeeesh!!!!

I know this man and his dog personally!!!!! He is a good man and the dog is smarter than most people I know. Do not judge people unless you are willing to walk in their shoes. He is not a whack, the person who said that is whack themselves.
Let's concentrate on other important things like the state of this country and the world!!!!

...the last comment is OBVIOUSLY from the guy who walks the dog.....KEEP HIM ON A LEASH!!!!!!!..... it's vey simple..... IT IS A LAWFUL REQUIREMENT!!!!!...

I don't think so Glenn!!!!

....how about this.....euthanize BOTH the owner & the dog!!!!! so we can close this issue!!!!!

Wow seriously? this is petty. c'mon grow a pair, walk up to the man, ask him to hold his leash if it bothers you, or go call him a wack on the internet??. This is supposed to be about issues that can be addressed and fixed to better the town, not embarrass or talk about people or settle personal vendettas.I guarantee you he is not on here checking to make sure noone has an issue with how he walks his dog.this is pathetic, take this down.

How about we euthanize Glenn? I

'm going to request to close this as it was 10 months ago and I don't see anyone saying this is a problem still. Just a lunatic named Glenn that wants dogs and their owners euthanized because they aren't holding a leash. Do I feel everyone should walk their dog on a leash? Yes, but in the grand scheme of things this is not very important and a waste of internet space. Let's go back to complaining about stuff that really matters.
