      "I know all the dogs in my area, when one gets out of the yard anyone who is available to help joins in. I’ve personally returned neighbors dogs that wandered in my yard to play with my dog. There are allot of sidewalks, most maintained, some not. There’s also allot of areas of nature walks to check out"
