Reading Bowl 2

Letter To The Editor


The Avondale Town Council recently passed a new rule. The rule says that dogs in Avon Meadows Park must be on a leash. I do not believe that the citizens of Avondale support this new rule. Dogs should be allowed to run free.
For several years, many other pet owners and I have taken our dogs to Avon Meadows. This was the one place in town where animals could run free.
Some people complained that unleashed dogs were a nuisance. However, during all my daily visits to Avon Meadows, I never once saw a dog misbehave or a dog owner act irresponsibly. I think these stories about dogs knocking old people over and taking toys away from babies are a lot of hogwash. My dog and other dogs have always been well behaved and gentle. This cannot be said of most of the humans in the park.
If people don’t like dogs, let them go to another park. There are plenty of other great parks in town. Leave one park in town where dogs and their owners can enjoy the open space.
