    "If you have small dogs, need to watch out for the hawks. Had a couple of close calls also, be aware of coyotes at night. Great trails to walk your dogs."

    "You can walk your dog mostly anywhere, although not all dogs are as friendly as the last. Just as long as you keep your pup on a leash, you should be just fine. "
