[nagdu] dog parks was Countdown to NYC - 5 days!

[The Pawpower Pack]

Julie, 
Yes, this is so well said.  I also take my dogs to the park. I think that for me and my dog, in our situation, the good outweighs the bad. 
It's a choice everyone has to make for themselves, their dog, and their situation.

Yes, someone could climb over the fence and steal them without my immediate knowledge.  But everything has some amount of risk.  Crossing the street is a risk.  Feeding them commercially prepared dog food is a risk.  I weigh the risk and the benefit and decide if it's worth it.  To me, the dog park is worth it.
