    "Respnsible, happy dog owners all around. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a dog off leash in this neighborhood. I’ve never seen one dog go after another dog. I’ve never heard dogfighting. Most of the dogs in this neighborhood are small. I think there might be one beagle, a few mixed breeds about that size and some little tiny dogs. The owner of a dangerous dog, and his dog, would not be welcome here."
