Comment on Does people doing things that upset others also upset you?
over_clox@lemmy.world 1 day agoOur park is mostly a water park for kids at the front, with a couple pavilions, and a boat ramp and senior citizen center in the back. So yes, it’s not an official dog park, but unofficial its accepted as one by pretty much everyone.
We keep him on the leash when there’s lots of people or other dogs around, but on days when the park is practically empty, we let him roam free and burn his calories.
He was abandoned for like 5 months out at the park before we decided to adopt him, so most regular park visitors already know him. Police officers approve, they even helped us adopt him.
He’s a medium size dog, and mostly chill, just sometimes playful. He’s never hurt anyone.
Of course that’s not true for all dogs though, hence why we’re very careful regarding what sort of days we might let him roam around off the leash.

Fair enough, as long as there’s respect to other dogs and dog owners. Many dog owners near where I live who selfilishly let their dogs off lead in busy on lead areas and obviously causes problems.
