    "You see other dog owners all the time walking their dogs and they have nearby dog parks for dogs to meet other dogs and play with. Also a lot of people that love seeing dogs all around the neighborhood, people are just friendly when it comes to having dogs around so that is an upside for dog owners when living in the downtown area."
