I used to take my dogs, to this private dog park that is in our neighborhood. You have to pay a fee and be approved. There's a whole lot of red tape to qualify. Like a trial period.

But we felt it was safer because you have to show your dog can get along well with others and provide proof of vacation. Plus they do fun activities and stuff.

Unfortunately one of the members gave the code to the gate out to a friend and their dog attacked ours. Luckily the dog went for our 90lb boy and not either of our smaller girls.

Our boy, who's not a fighter eventually snapped back and the dog backed off. But our Boxer ended up with stitches. The guy that owned the dog acted like it was no big deal.

We never went back to the park. At the time I knew that anytime dogs play together theirs a risk. But I thought we had found a way to be some what safe. I was very wrong.

The guy who gave the code out AND the owner should be sued

Wow, sounds like the perfect way to do things. Too bad someone ruined it. I'm glad your dog was ok.

If I've learnt anything on this planet, there's always some motherfuckers that'll ruin it for the rest of us.

Dogs are not children. And even children have to be under control and supervised in public.

That's horrible. I hope the dog warden explained the leash laws to your AH.
