Love dogs, or don't, tolerate dogs or don't? 'Dog Love' ranges from strongly dislike, through tolerate, to love dogs more than people. You know where you mark your territory on this doggy scale.
I love dogs, some more than people. Having lived in OB my entire life I have watched dogs run free, unleashed, in the 40s and 50s, to today's walks on tight leashes based on new laws. Still, Ocean Beach is dog-friendly partly because of local activism. Dogs and their humans have Dog Beach, a Dog Park, and not far away, Fiesta Island Dog Park. There are also many schoolyards that allow responsible owners to bring their dogs to play on the dirt and grass.
Things are about to change again. Every time the city gets involved in our lives you can almost guarantee new restrictions are being seeded--new laws that, if disobeyed, will place you in the doghouse!
Here is the latest bite into your dog's freedom, and yours.
