In reply to the discussion: This winter, my wife and I got a shelter dog. [View all]RebelOne
(30,947 posts)31. I love the leash-free dog parks,
but unfortunately, there are none close by. I had a Rottweiler (I had to send her to doggy heaven in 2010 because of liver and bone cancer) and we visited my daughter in Hollywood, FL, and there was a dog park next door in Ft. Lauderdale. We took her two dogs and my Rottie there. They all had such a great time.
I only have a Chihuahua now and she is an inside dog. There is no way I would let her off the leash because she spooks so easily and if anything frightens her, she would take off and I may never find her.

I suspect that gorillas care about interesting, whereas lions care about large.

Probably not typical, but tethering dogs is illegal where I live (Chapel Hill, NC)

Unattended here means not outside WITH the dog...or basically...having the dog on a long leash.
