Dog Owners Ticketed Bay Ridge Baseball Field
The police were at Shore Road and 79th Street yesterday morning ticketing dogs on the baseball field.
Dog owners want their dogs to run on the soft field, but this is not a park for pets. It’s a baseball field for children and it’s not fair for kids to have to play in dog poop.
Our dogs are always on a leash. In NYC, dogs are only allowed off-leash at dog runs and parks which have listed off-leash hours.
We can’t take our dog to the park on Shore Road and the 90’s because there are always dogs off leash there – morning, afternoon and evening.
Loose dogs run up to our dogs and either kiss them or start a war. The dog’s owner is far behind, strolling the park sipping a latte.
A few years back, a dog bit my dog. I asked the owner if the dog was vaccinated for rabies (all dogs are required to be if they are in public.) The dog owner told me didn’t believe in vaccinations.
Hugs,
