In reply to the discussion: This winter, my wife and I got a shelter dog. [View all]MineralMan
(146,286 posts)32. I'm glad you enjoy your rescue dog.
We love ours, too. He does get to the leash-free dog park. In fact, my wife just left for one of our parks. He'll run himself until he's exhausted, and then come find her so he can go home and sleep for a couple of hours. Then, he'll wake up and bring me his rope toy so we can play tug-of-war. That game is my primary function, as far as our beagle/basset mix is concerned.

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.
