    "Other dog owners are friendly in my neighborhood as long as you pick up after your dogs. They get penalized by the HOA if you don’t. The streets are lit at night for when you do walk your dogs and there is a park near by that other dogs from the neighbor walk durning the morning. A very dog friendly community. "
