Dogs can be dangerous 

I read the article “Letting dogs run off-leash in Chavez park is a mistake” (Tuesday, July 18th, 2000 Page 4) and appreciated it so much. I think it is a very realistic article. 

I happen to be among those who are frightened of dogs and get scared easily by their darting and sudden movements. Being a senior, I have absolutely no courage to take a walk in such an off-leash dog park as Cesar Chavez Park. I don’t want to run the risk of having my bones broken. 

Thank you, Carol, for speaking for people like us, and thank you for speaking for all those mutilated creatures such as rabbits and birds, which naturally constitute an important part of a beautiful park.
