Taking your dog to the dog park is optional. You assume the risk by choosing to go there. For many HP dog owners, the value of the dog park goes beyond just letting your dog play and exercise - it’s also a social opportunity to connect with others in the neighborhood.

Yes, there are untrained dogs who go there. Yes, there are owners who aren’t vigilant and have dogs who don’t meet the criteria to go to a dog park. However, choosing to go to the dog park is exactly that… a choice.

FWIW, my family’s experience with a dog attack in HP occurred OUTSIDE the dog park with a dog ON LEASH. The owner couldn’t control their dog, dropped the leash, and the dog attacked. This did not occur inside the dog park.

It took them 25 minutes to make an order.

It was damn expensive.

It gave you choice paralysis on how you could have your wings.

It never produced any marketing or offers.

It had zero visibility on the street.

It picked the protein that has increased in price massively in the last 2 years.

It was Hooters with the wings but no breasts. And no atmosphere. Its gimmick was to be gimmickless.

Go get a Chicken Lollipop at Franklin Social's Happy Hour or anything from Bobwhite, everyone wins.

I don’t think the city should be building more dog parks because people shouldn’t rely on dog parks for their dogs exercise since they are an irresponsible way to exercise your dog. The real issue IMO is how many people depend on these parks (and advocate for more) while completely ignoring the risks. Any experienced dog trainer or vet in an urban area will tell you to avoid dog parks for a variety of reasons.You cannot control others animals no matter how wells yours is trained and bad owners will continue bringing their dogs.

Ha! I was warned about this raccoon by a Verizon service tech last night! That thing must really be making an impression everywhere it goes.
