At around 11:30 a.m., one resident allowed a small dog to romp around unfettered on the quad lawn. What's the big deal? We have a leash law in Farmers Branch, and each resident knows this via the lease. But it's not uncommon to see small dogs being allowed to run free.
True, it's sometimes difficult to find a harness small enough to keep a wee dog on a leash, but sometimes those dogs will come right at you for no reason. Now, I'm not exactly afraid of a short, fuzzy mop of a dog, but I'm rather fond of my ankles and don't want them chewed. I also worry that someone like myself, going about normal activities, might inadvertently "draw" an unfettered dog into the path of a moving vehicle.
I think you know what I'm talking about. You're going about your own business. This little dog that doesn't know better decides to follow you. Dog gets run over by moving vehicle in the parking lot. Everyone's sad.
