To Hershey's Dog-Mom

If you're taking your adorable chocolate lab out for a stroll on the bike-path on a lovely Sunday afternoon, please protect your dog and other people using the path and keep him on a leash.

I witnessed an almost-accident at close range as the dog ambled from one side of the path to another, forcing a bicyclist to slam on his brakes and stop hard to avoid hitting him.

He doesn't know any better, he's just a dog, doing what dogs do. You, on the other hand, should.

Last I checked there were signs on both sides of that stretch of bike path stating that dogs must be on lease.

The signs near lexington park USED to say all dogs must be on leash.

They do not anymore.

There need to be signs up saying dogs must be on leashes, and no longer than six feet.

Signs are good. Animal control officers patrolling the area and doling out tickets, and revoking dog licenses, are even better.

Considering at least one ACO was threatened by a dog owner with a gun ... (http://www.wickedlocal.com/somerville/archive/x1817150690)

It's too bad they hadn't caught the guy, because really, that's a great way to just dig yourself in deeper.

The article is old, and the dog run at the park near Union Sq. is really wonderful.
