Brooklyn Museum fountain and unleashed dogs

Mechanical_Whispers

Can fellow dog owners PLEASE keep your dogs ON the leash when allowing them in the Brooklyn Museum fountain. Not only are you risking at least a $100 fine per dog every time you do this, but it's going to ruin it for those of us who want to let our dogs play in the fountain ON-leash, if police start patrolling this area and tell everyone to keep out. Not to mention, not all dogs get along, and allowing your dog off-leash in a public area is very, VERY irresponsible.

Call local precinct if you see unleashed dogs and take photos. I did. Cost owner 500 DOLLARS EACH DOG. There is a LEASH LAW. Maybe a ticket will make them follow it.

Forgot to mention two dogs almost got hit by a car because they chased a squirrel across the street. AND in another incident i managed to get dog off leash running down the street for owner. Copped an attitude when i told her about leash law.

Yeah, the attitude always gets me. I always ask them to please put their dog on a leash. And the response is usually "why?", or even "my dog isn't going to hurt anyone." Really? THAT's your first concern? Not about the safety of your own dog?!?

I give an even BIGGER attitude and tell them i will report them.

And this woman never thanked me for catching her dog running down the street. With her attitude and that i lectered her on good manners.

One. Freedom of speech. Two. You must have a dog you put off leash. Get a life.

I don't understand why dog owners let their dogs off their leash in public (i.e. outside of a dog run). I really don't. They really want to risk getting sued if doggie were to bite someone? (I don't care if your dog is the sweetest ever; every being has its breaking point.)

mugofmead111. I am in neighborhood of Prospect Heights. Near Vanderbilt area. Just gave someone $500 ticket. To answer your question one is entitlement. They have no respect for the law or public or dogs safety.
