Re: (Letters, June 8)
Good for the City of Victoria. Dog ownership should be restrictive.
My wife and I have shaken our heads at dog owners numerous times over the past few years. Many seem to think that the general public enjoys having frisky, nosy dogs jumping on them, sniffing their picnics and licking their childB次元官网网址檚 faces.
WeB次元官网网址檝e witnessed dogs trained on B次元官网网址榤entalB次元官网网址� leashes jumping on kids in on-leash areas. From the childB次元官网网址檚 perspective, these are not B次元官网网址榙oggie kisses,B次元官网网址� this is an attack. Children can be traumatized and the associated fear compounds with each recurrence.
The dog owners we have observed have been blind to the fact that their dog has left a child screaming and in tears, and rarely, if ever, apologize. The cityB次元官网网址檚 dog-control B次元官网网址榖rowbeatsB次元官网网址� canB次元官网网址檛 be zealous enough.
