Under the proposals, dogs would be excluded from “all gated play parks and sports areas” and would have to be kept on leads in “all public spaces in the borough”. Again, I feel like some dog owners have lost a bit of perspective when it comes to the rights of their pets. Dogs enjoy parks to run around in, burn energy, do their business, meet other dogs – you know, “be dogs”. Letting dogs off the leads in urban parks and then scrolling on your phone while they run wild is surely not that responsible. I really, really like dogs.
