    "The East West trail is a perfect trail that connects all our neighborhoods together and really feels like everyone benefits because of it. Most dog owners are very responsible, but the few offenders with misbehaving off leash dogs really is a letdown."

    "Lots of homes with big backyards - plenty of nearby parks for you to bring furry friends. Most places have sidewalks and are fairly pedestrian-friendly. A couple of pet stores relatively close by. One down side is there a lot of large and busy roads nearby, so if a dog got out it could be in quite a bit of danger "
