"When I visit I do notice neighbors walking their dogs but there are some neighbors who allow their dogs to run free. That puts them at risk and it also puts their neighbors at risk."

"It’s the country. What’s there for a dog not to like. They can run freely and chase squirrels. Only bad part is wild hogs or other wild animals could get them "

"Can take your dog for walks at the Dayton community center in town. Great place to walk since the distance is marked and has a wide concrete path. It is a common place to walk for exercise. Dayton is a busy area for pets that are not fenced. "
